I thought we already fixed that...

    static_call: Fix unused variable warn w/o MODULE
    
    Here is the warning converted as error and reported by GCC:
    
      kernel/static_call.c: In function ‘__static_call_update’:
      kernel/static_call.c:153:18: error: unused variable ‘mod’ [-Werror=unused-variable]
        153 |   struct module *mod = site_mod->mod;
            |                  ^~~
      cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
      make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:271: kernel/static_call.o] Error 1
    
    This is simply because since recently, we no longer use 'mod' variable
    elsewhere if MODULE is unset.
    
    When using 'make tinyconfig' to generate the default kconfig, MODULE is
    unset.
    
    There are different ways to fix this warning. Here I tried to minimised
    the number of modified lines and not add more #ifdef. We could also move
    the declaration of the 'mod' variable inside the if-statement or
    directly use site_mod->mod.
