Clang's version of -Wunused-but-set-variable recently gained support for
unary operations, which reveals two unused variables:

  fs/btrfs/block-group.c:2949:6: error: variable 'num_started' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]
          int num_started = 0;
              ^
  fs/btrfs/block-group.c:3116:6: error: variable 'num_started' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]
          int num_started = 0;
              ^
  2 errors generated.

These variables appear to be unused from their introduction, so just
remove them to silence the warnings.

I am requesting a stable backport because this is visible with
allmodconfig, which enables CONFIG_WERROR, breaking the build.

To quote Linus:

"EVERYBODY should have CONFIG_WERROR=y on at least x86-64 and other
serious architectures, unless you have some completely random
experimental (and broken) compiler."

Added to misc-next, thanks.

Yeah warning fixes are accepted in stable trees and we care about
warning-free builds. My gcc 11.1 does not produce any warning with
-Wunused-but-set-variable and we have extended the set of warnings in
the directory fs/btrfs/ that also includes that one.

I have CONFIG_WERROR disabled, for own development it's quite annoying
when build fails outside of the code I care about, while I apply visual
checks of warning-free builds.
