Remove the additional define HAVE_PTE_SPECIAL and rely directly on
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL.

Why do you need that change ?

There is no reason for the compiler to complain. It would complain if the goto
was within a #ifdef, but all the purpose of using IS_ENABLED() is to allow the
compiler to properly handle all possible cases. That's all the force of
IS_ENABLED() compared to ifdefs, and that the reason why they are plebicited,
ref Linux Codying style for a detailed explanation.

Fair enough.

Should I submit a v4 just to remove these so ugly __maybe_unused ?


Most likely, unless the mm maintainer agrees to remove them by himself when applying your patch ?
