[PATCH] cxl: Reduce scope for the variable “mm” in cxllib_get_PE_attributes()

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2020 14:14:07 +0100

A local variable was used only within an if branch.
Thus move the definition for the variable “mm” into the corresponding
code block.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

You did nothing here except add a checkpatch warning :(
