From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2018 15:28:56 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] x86/ldt: Remove unused variable in map_ldt_struct()
Splitting out the sanity check in map_ldt_struct() moved page table syncing into a separate function, which made the pgd variable unused. Remove it.
