Subject: [PATCH] arm/mm: fix compiler warning in pmdp_invalidate() (in -next)

Commit ff61d185f4e7 ("mm: convert p[te|md]_mknonnuma and remaining
page table manipulations") removed a check in
mm/pgtable-generic.c:pmdp_invalidate(), which leaves the
pmd_mknotpresent macro the only user of the entry variable.
For ARM/LPAE we use a constant 0 without referencing the argument to
mark this condition, so the entry variable is no longer used here:

mm/pgtable-generic.c: In function 'pmdp_invalidate':
mm/pgtable-generic.c:195:8: warning: unused variable 'entry' [-Wunused-variable]
  pmd_t entry = *pmdp;
        ^

Replace the ARM macro implementation with a static inline function to
get rid of this warning.
