[PATCH] mm/mmu_gather: change __tlb_remove_tlb_entry() to an inline function

[PATCH] mm/mmu_gather: change __tlb_remove_tlb_entry() to an inline function

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

clang complains about tlb_remove_tlb_entries() not using the 'ptep' variable
when __tlb_remove_tlb_entry() is an empty macro:

include/asm-generic/tlb.h:627:10: error: parameter 'ptep' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-parameter]

Change it to an equivalent inline function that avoids the warning since
the compiler can see how the variable gets passed into it.

Fixes: 66958b447695 ("mm/mmu_gather: add tlb_remove_tlb_entries()")

Ugh, quite an annoying clang behavior in this particular case. I wonder 
why no build bot complained so far.

Thanks!

That commit id is not stable yet. So Andrew might want to fold it into 
that commit before moving it to mm-stable.
