These do/while stubs should not have the trailing ";" - adding them
will cause breakage in some calling scenarios.

It is much better to implement such stubs in C rather than as macros.

But these stubs can't be doing anything useful anyway: they appear at
the end of a .c file which wasn't #included by anything.  Therefore:

--- a/fs/coda/sysctl.c~fs-coda-fix-compile-warning-when-config_sysctl=n-fix
+++ a/fs/coda/sysctl.c
@@ -61,9 +61,4 @@ void coda_sysctl_clean(void)
 		fs_table_header = NULL;
 	}
 }
-#else
-
-#define	coda_sysctl_init()		do { }  while (0);
-#define	coda_sysctl_clean()		do { }	while (0);
-
 #endif
