create_pagecache_thp_and_fd() in split_huge_page_test.c used the variable dummy to perform mmap read. However, this test was skipped even on XFS which has large folio support. The issue was compiler (gcc 13.2.0) was optimizing out the dummy variable, therefore, not creating huge page in the page cache. Use asm volatile() trick to force the compiler not to optimize out the loop where we read from the mmaped addr. This is similar to what is being done in other tests (cow.c, etc) As the variable is now used in the asm statement, remove the unused attribute.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
