[PATCH] sched: drop unused variable cpumask in mm_cid_get()

[PATCH] sched: drop unused variable cpumask in mm_cid_get()

[André Draszik]

When compiling with W=1, we get the following warning:

In file included from kernel/sched/rq-offsets.c:5:
kernel/sched/sched.h:3743:18: error: variable 'cpumask' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]
 3743 |         struct cpumask *cpumask;
      |                         ^
1 error generated.

Simply drop the variable.

Can ->mm_cid_active be true when next->mm is false?  I don't know.
If so then it's fine.  I suspect it's fine...
