Rather than assume I checked the generated code and I was wrong (which is
something I'm getting good at being).

The variable is not compiled in so the empty static inline as suggested by
Pekka suffices to silence this warning.

if CONFIG_SWAP is not defined we get:

mm/vmscan.c: In function a??remove_mappinga??:
mm/vmscan.c:387: warning: unused variable a??swapa??
