This looks like a false positive reporting and not reported by my
compiler and kbuild compiler (gcc-6). But anyway, we should silence it.

Best Regards,

Subject: [PATCH] mm, THP, swap: Silence a compiler warning

To fix the following compiler warning,

mm/swapfile.c: In function 'reuse_swap_page':
mm/swapfile.c:1429:16: warning: 'offset' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
unsigned long offset;
^

This is a false positive report, but we should silence it anyway.
