KVM: selftests: Delete superfluous, unused "stage" variable in AMX test
[ Upstream commit 46fee9e38995af9ae16a8cc7d05031486d44cf35 ]
Delete the AMX's tests "stage" counter, as the counter is no longer used,
which makes clang unhappy:
x86_64/amx_test.c:224:6: error: variable 'stage' set but not used
int stage, ret;
^
1 error generated.
Note, "stage" was never really used, it just happened to be dumped out by
a (failed) assertion on run->exit_reason, i.e. the AMX test has no concept
of stages, the code was likely copy+pasted from a different test.
Fixes: c96f57b08012 ("KVM: selftests: Make vCPU exit reason test assertion common")
