The mainline kernel still fails to build xtensa:allmodconfig.

Building xtensa:allmodconfig ... failed
--------------
Error log:
crypto/scompress.c: In function 'scomp_acomp_comp_decomp':
crypto/scompress.c:174:38: error: unused variable 'dst_page' [-Werror=unused-variable]
  174 |                         struct page *dst_page = sg_page(req->dst);

This patch fixes the problem. Is there a chance to get it applied to the
upstream kernel, or should I just stop build testing xtensa:allmodconfig ?

Thanks,
Guenter
