wp query error while paging the posts

You are setting null to $wp_query then querying get_query_var( 'paged' ) this is expected that you will get this error!

First query get_query_var( 'paged' ) then set the original $wp_query to null

Example:-

$paged = ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;

global $wp_query;
$temp = $wp_query;

$wp_query = new WP_Query( 'posts_per_page=2&paged='.$paged );

while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
    <h2>
        <a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/225358/<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
    </h2>
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php previous_posts_link( '&laquo; Previous' ); ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php next_posts_link( 'More &raquo;' ); ?></div>
</div><?php

wp_reset_postdata();

$wp_query = $temp;

NOTE: Do not forgot to add wp_reset_postdata() after loop.
