commit 3ba5b5ea7dc3a10ef50819b43a9f8de2705f4eec upstream.

GCC complains about unused variable 'vma' in mark_screen_rdonly() if THP is disabled:

arch/x86/kernel/vm86_32.c: In function ‘mark_screen_rdonly’:
arch/x86/kernel/vm86_32.c:180:26: warning: unused variable ‘vma’ [-Wunused-variable]
struct vm_area_struct *vma = find_vma(mm, 0xA0000);

That's silly. pmd_trans_huge() resolves to 0 when THP is disabled, so the whole block should be eliminated.

Moving the variable declaration outside the if() block shuts GCC up.
