Newer gcc compiler (version 16.0.0 20260103 (Red Hat 16.0.0-0) (GCC))
detects an unused variable error:
../tests/unit/rcutorture.c: In function ‘rcu_read_stress_test’:
../tests/unit/rcutorture.c:251:18: error: variable ‘garbage’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable=]
251 | volatile int garbage = 0;
| ^~~~~~~
Since the 'garbage' variable is used to generate memory reads from the
CPU while holding the RCU lock, it can not be removed. Tag it as
((unused)) instead to silence the compiler warnings/errors.
