Subject: [PATCH] block: avoid -Wunused-but-set-parameter warning

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

Building with 'make W=1' shows a warning for one function parameter
that is only set but not used in some configurations:

kernel/trace/blktrace.c: In function '__trace_note_message':
kernel/trace/blktrace.c:148:63: error: parameter 'blkcg' set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-parameter]
  148 | void __trace_note_message(struct blk_trace *bt, struct blkcg *blkcg,

Move the assignment into the #ifdef block that contains the only
use to clarify how it's used and avoid the warning.

Apparently this is the only -Wunused-but-set-parameter warning in the
kernel as of v5.12, after similar cleanups done by others. It may be time
to turn it on globally.

Fixes: 35fe6d763229 ("block: use standard blktrace API to output cgroup info for debug notes")
