Subject: [PATCH] sh: kprobes: remove unused variables in kprobe_exceptions_notify()

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@...nel.org>

kbuild reports the following warning:

   arch/sh/kernel/kprobes.c: In function 'kprobe_exceptions_notify':
>> arch/sh/kernel/kprobes.c:412:24: warning: variable 'p' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
     412 |         struct kprobe *p = NULL;
         |                        ^

The variable 'p' is indeed unused since the commit fa5a24b16f94
("sh/kprobes: Don't call the ->break_handler() in SH kprobes code")

Remove that variable along with 'kprobe_opcode_t *addr' which also
becomes unused after 'p' is removed.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202505151341.EuRFR22l-lkp@intel.com/
Fixes: fa5a24b16f94 ("sh/kprobes: Don't call the ->break_handler() in SH kprobes code")

I don't know why the warning poped up only now, the code there didn't
change for some time :/
