[PATCH] perf test pmu: Remove unused test_pmus

[PATCH] perf test pmu: Remove unused test_pmus

[linux]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <linux@treblig.org>

Commit aa1551f299ba ("perf test pmu: Refactor format test and exposed
test APIs") added the 'test_pmus' list, but didn't use it.
(It seems to put them on the other_pmus list?)

Remove it.

Strange that the compiler doesn't warn about unused stuff like this,
we get unused variables within a function and unused static
functions...

The problem is that LIST_HEAD initialises the list to point to itself;
so it *is* used - but only in it's own initialiser.
I did file:
   https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=115027

Given it's got no actual effect other than a few bytes
saved, I'm not sure it's worth the Fixes.

Nice, the bug already has a fix - good work! Hopefully clang can follow suit.

Ack. I mention it so the maintainers can make a decision about fixing
in 6.11 (still in rc stage) or whether to hold for 6.12. It seems
pretty safe either way, but for 6.11 probably better to have a fixes
tag. If the GCC warning becomes a thing there's a chance the code
won't build without the fix :-)

Thanks,
Ian
