Subject: [PATCH] lkdtm: Remove set but not used variable 'byte'

Fixes gcc '-Wunused-but-set-variable' warning:

drivers/misc/lkdtm/bugs.c: In function lkdtm_STACK_GUARD_PAGE_LEADING:
drivers/misc/lkdtm/bugs.c:236:25: warning: variable byte set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
drivers/misc/lkdtm/bugs.c: In function lkdtm_STACK_GUARD_PAGE_TRAILING:
drivers/misc/lkdtm/bugs.c:250:25: warning: variable byte set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]

byte is never used, so remove it.
