Add gcc attribute unused for `l` variable, replace `path` variable
directly
with prom_scratch. Fix warnings treated as errors with W=1:

   arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c:607:6: error: variable ‘l’ set but not
used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
   arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c:1388:8: error: variable ‘path’ set but
not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]

v4: redo v3 since path variable can be avoided
v3: really move path within ifdef DEBUG_PROM
v2: move path within ifdef DEBUG_PROM

Instead of hiding the problem with __maybe_unused, I think we could replace
the
#ifdef CONFIG_CMDLINE
by a
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL))

This is recommanded by Linux codying style

Neat. I was not aware of this trick. Does not work in this case though:
