[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] kni: fix unused variable compile error

[Ferruh Yigit]

compile error:
  CC [M]  .../lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_misc.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
.../lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_misc.c: In function ‘kni_exit_net’:
.../lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_misc.c:113:18:
error: unused variable ‘knet’

For some kernel versions mutex_destroy() is macro and does nothing,
this cause an unused variable warning for knet which used in mutex_destroy

Added unused attribute to the knet variable.

Fixes: 93a298b34e1b ("kni: support core id parameter in single threaded mode")
