With arm64's defconfig (!CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS) I get:

kernel/sched/fair.c: In function ‘select_task_rq_fair’:
kernel/sched/fair.c:6459:16: warning: unused variable ‘time’ [-Wunused-variable]
  unsigned long time = schedstat_start_time();
                ^~~~

So you probably want something like this:

The 0-day bot will catch those but since it's the only warn I got I figured
I'd report it :)
