Subject: [PATCH 68/70] xen-netfront: remove unused variable `extra'

3.5.7.14 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@...rix.com>

commit e2d617c0ccf658a55552955f07018ecfa0135210 upstream.

This variable is supposed to hold reference to the last extra_info in the
loop. However there is only type of extra info here and the loop to process
extra info is missing, so this variable is never used and causes confusion.

Remove it at the moment. We can add it back when necessary.
