[PATCH] staging/lustre/llite: Fix a compile warning.

[Oleg Drokin]

Quiet the warning below in Lustre code.
Actually the warning is invalid since we either always assign
the symname in ll_readlink_internal or return an error there and
then the following rc check would assign symlink variable explicitly.
