With CONFIG_PPC_KERNEL_PCREL enabled, build breaks with below error:

  CC      mm/dmapool.o
  CC      fs/readdir.o
arch/powerpc/net/bpf_jit_comp64.c: In function 'bpf_jit_emit_func_call_rel':
arch/powerpc/net/bpf_jit_comp64.c:475:13: error: unused variable 'ret' [-Werror=unused-variable]
  475 |         int ret;
      |             ^~~

commit b55b6b9ad76c ("powerpc64/bpf: Add powerpc64 JIT support for timed may_goto")
introduced "ret" variable to bpf_jit_emit_func_call_rel() and it is used only in
else block of CONFIG_PPC_KERNEL_PCREL, fix by adding a "__maybe_unused"
