[PATCH] arm64: hugetlbpage: avoid unused-but-set-parameter warning (gcc-16)

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

gcc-16 warns about an instance that older compilers did not:

arch/arm64/mm/hugetlbpage.c: In function 'huge_pte_clear':
arch/arm64/mm/hugetlbpage.c:369:57: error: parameter 'addr' set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-parameter=]

The issue here is that __pte_clear() does not actually use its second
argument when CONFIG_ARM64_CONTPTE is disabled.

Reword this to compute the offset each time instead of updating the
argument variable. I checked that the resulting object code is
unchanged.
