x86_64-allmodconfig -KCOV -KASAN +patch gives:

drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/.tmp_qplib_fp.o: warning: objtool: bnxt_qplib_poll_cq()+0xf8: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
drivers/watchdog/.tmp_hpwdt.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x24: indirect call found in RETPOLINE build

Subject: jump_label: Add static assertion to every static_branch
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue Jan 16 15:27:36 CET 2018

For testing only.. can't use in general because people do:

static_branch() || more-cond

which confuses the living daylight out of objtool validation and
really isn't fixable.

DO NOT MERGE
