[PATCH] [net-next] sfc: avoid an unused-variable warning

[PATCH] [net-next] sfc: avoid an unused-variable warning

[Arnd Bergmann]

'nic_data' is no longer used outside of the #ifdef block
in efx_ef10_set_mac_address:

drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/ef10.c:3231:28: error: unused variable 'nic_data' [-Werror,-Wunused-variable]
        struct efx_ef10_nic_data *nic_data = efx->nic_data;

Move the variable into a local scope.

Fixes: dfcabb078847 ("sfc: move vport_id to struct efx_nic")

Sorry I didn't see the original patch (I think it disappeared
 into a mail outage).  Fix is good, but I think we can improve
 the code further by moving the declaration down another block,
 into the 'if (rc == -EPERM)', at which point it is no longer
 shadowed by the other nic_data declaration in the
 'else if (!rc)' block.
Alternatively, we could rename the latter to 'pf_nic_data' or
 something.  Any opinions/preferences on which way to go?  We
 could even do both...
When I make up my mind I'll spin an incremental patch.
