[PATCH net-next] ipv6: fix "'ioam6_if_id_max' defined but not used" warn

[PATCH net-next] ipv6: fix "'ioam6_if_id_max' defined but not used" warn

[Matthieu Baerts]

When compiling without CONFIG_SYSCTL, this warning appears:

  net/ipv6/addrconf.c:99:12: error: 'ioam6_if_id_max' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-variable]
     99 | static u32 ioam6_if_id_max = U16_MAX;
        |            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Simply moving the declaration of this variable under ...

  #ifdef CONFIG_SYSCTL

... with other similar variables fixes the issue.

Fixes: 9ee11f0fff20 ("ipv6: ioam: Data plane support for Pre-allocated Trace")
Signed-off-by: Matthieu Baerts <matthieu.baerts@tessares.net>

Notes:
    Please note that this 'ioam6_if_id_max' variable could certainly be
    declared as 'const' like some others used as limits for sysctl knobs.
    But here, this patch focuses on fixing the warning reported by GCC.

Good catch, thanks for the patch.
