[PATCH] mm: change vma_alloc_folio_noprof() macro to inline function

[PATCH] mm: change vma_alloc_folio_noprof() macro to inline function

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

In a few rare configurations with extra warnings eanbled, the new
drm_pagemap_migrate_populate_ram_pfn() calls vma_alloc_folio_noprof()
but that does not use all the arguments, leading to a harmless warning:

drivers/gpu/drm/drm_pagemap.c: In function 'drm_pagemap_migrate_populate_ram_pfn':
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_pagemap.c:701:63: error: parameter 'addr' set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-parameter=]
  701 |                                                 unsigned long addr)
      |                                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~

Replace the macro with an inline function so the compiler can see
how the argument would be used, but is still able to optimize out
the assignments.

It'd be good if we could find a way to avoid these horrible _noprof things, but
I guess that ship's sailed for now...

Anyway, LGTM, so:

But addr is used at line 739 or line 741:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_pagemap.c#n739

I wonder why compiler reported the error.

LGTM. _noprof() functions don't need to be macros.
