Mark unused parameters with `__attribute__((unused))`.

Can we just turn off this warning?  Unused parameters are entirely
normal in functions used as callbacks as well as with ifdefs, and it
seems like a low value warning to begin with (there's a reason it's not
in -Wall).

You were probably trying to be consistent with the rest of the programs in 
rt-tests, however, according to checkpatch, 

WARNING: __always_unused or __maybe_unused is preferred over 
__attribute__((__unused__))

__always_unused is slightly shorter, shall we try that instead?

I tried the `__maybe_unused` using gcc 12, but it didn't work.

It looks like the `__maybe_unused` attribute is only available in C23 and later
https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/attributes/maybe_unused

For backward compatibility, maybe we shall keep the existing `__attribute__((__unused__))`.
