x86: vvar, fix excessive gcc-6 DECLARE_VVAR warnings
On 3.12, with gcc-6, I see a lot of: arch/x86/include/asm/vvar.h:33:28: warning: ‘vvaraddr_jiffies’ defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable] static type const * const vvaraddr_ ## name = \ ^ arch/x86/include/asm/vvar.h:46:1: note: in expansion of macro ‘DECLARE_VVAR’ DECLARE_VVAR(0, volatile unsigned long, jiffies) ^~~~~~~~~~~~ In upstream, this is fixed by ef721987 (x86, vdso: Introduce VVAR marco for vdso32) and f40c3300 (x86, vdso: Move the vvar and hpet mappings next to the 64-bit vDSO). But this is not applicable to stable. So mark the vvar declaration as __maybe_unused and be done with it. This will generate it to the code only if it is used. I.e. the same as with gcc < 6.
