[PATCH][next] accel/qaic: remove redundant assignment to pointer pexec

[Colin Ian King]

Pointer pexec is being assigned a value however it is never read. The
assignment is redundant and can be removed.

It does look like pexec is not used in this function after it was 
refactored.  Shouldn't the declaration at the beginning of the function 
also be removed?

Yeah we should remove the declaration as well. Although it is used some 
where to calculate its size i.e. sizeof(*pexec). We need to directly use 
the type in sizeof() i.e. sizeof(struct qaic_partial_execute_entry).

I didn't remove the variable because of the sizeof(), but it makes sense 
to remove it. I'll send a V2 today
