Summary

Some LinuxKPI lock macros pass need a flags field passed in. This is
written to but never read from so gcc complains.

Fix this by marking the flags variables as unused to quieten the
compiler.

I wonder if we want a local #define __writeonly __unused for documentation purposes.

If we do, maybe that's best in sys/cdefs.h instead of here?

May be instead, the *lock_irq* macros might do something to fake the argument use?
