Subject: [PATCH] x86/resctrl: Fix a silly -Wunused-but-set-variable warning

From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@...en8.de>

clang correctly complains

  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/rdtgroup.c:1456:6: warning: variable \
     'h' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
          u32 h;
              ^

but it can't know whether this use is innocuous or really a problem.
There's a reason why those warning switches are behind a W=1 and not
enabled by default - yes, one needs to do:

  make W=1 CC=clang HOSTCC=clang arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/

with clang 14 in order to trigger it.

I would normally not take a silly fix like that but this one is simple
and doesn't make the code uglier so...
