Andrew merged my patch to enable -Wextra yesterday, and it appears
that this one fell through the cracks with my testing, either I
missed the combination of loongarch with clang, or I last tested

On upstream, it only shows up with 'make W=1'.

Yes, this looks like the best solution, and I can confirm that this
addresses the warning on linux-next.
