[PATCH net-next] net: Remove shadow variable in netdev_run_todo()
From: Breno Leitao
Date: Fri Feb 21 2025 - 12:52:17 EST
Fix a shadow variable warning in net/core/dev.c when compiled with
CONFIG_LOCKDEP enabled. The warning occurs because 'dev' is redeclared
inside the while loop, shadowing the outer scope declaration.
net/core/dev.c:11211:22: warning: declaration shadows a local variable [-Wshadow]
struct net_device *dev = list_first_entry(&unlink_list,
net/core/dev.c:11202:21: note: previous declaration is here
struct net_device *dev, *tmp;
Remove the redundant declaration since the variable is already defined
in the outer scope and will be overwritten in the subsequent
list_for_each_entry_safe() loop anyway.

Sending this against `net-next` and not using "Fixes:" tag since I don't
think we want this to be backported to stable tree.
