The local variable 'rotate' is not used on s390, and building the kernel
with W=1 generates the following warning:

init/do_mounts_rd.c:192:17: warning: variable 'rotate' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
  192 |         unsigned short rotate = 0;
      |                        ^
1 warning generated.

Fix this by declaring and using 'rotate' only when CONFIG_S390 is not
defined.

Instead of adding even more ifdefs, wouldn't it make more sense to get
rid of them and leave it up to the compiler to optimize unused stuff
away? Something like this instead:

Yes, I'll submit a v2.

Thanks,
