Subject: [PATCH v6 07/39] kmsan: Remove a useless assignment from kmsan_vmap_pages_range_noflush()

The value assigned to prot is immediately overwritten on the next line
with PAGE_KERNEL. The right hand side of the assignment has no
side-effects.

Fixes: b073d7f8aee4 ("mm: kmsan: maintain KMSAN metadata for page operations")
