Re: [PATCH] RDMA/rxe: remove redundant assignment to variable page_offset

The variable page_offset is being assigned a value at the start of
a loop and being redundantly zero'd at the end of the loop, there
is no code that reads the zero'd value. The assignment is redundant
and can be removed.

From the above, in the functions rxe_mr_flush_pmem_iova and rxe_odp_flush_pmem_iova, within the while loop, the variable page_offset is assigned a value. At the end of the loop, page_offset is set to 0. However, this assignment at the end of the loop is actually unnecessary.
