The commit 58629c0dc349 ("powerpc/powernv/npu: Fault user page into the
hypervisor's pagetable") introduced a variable "c" to be used in
__get_user() and __get_user_nocheck() which need to stay as macros for
performance reasons, and "c" is not actually used in
pnv_npu2_handle_fault(),

arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/npu-dma.c: In function 'pnv_npu2_handle_fault':
arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/npu-dma.c:1122:7: warning: variable 'c'
set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]

Fixed it by appending the __maybe_unused attribute, so compilers would
ignore it.
