Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] nfsd: Mark variable __maybe_unused to avoid W=1 build break

Clang is not happy about set but (in some cases) unused variable:

fs/nfsd/export.c:1027:17: error: variable 'inode' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]

since it's used as a parameter to dprintk() which might be configured
a no-op. To avoid uglifying code with the specific ifdeffery just mark
the variable __maybe_unused.

The commit [1], which introduced this behaviour, is quite old and hence
the Fixes tag points to the first of Git era.
