I got CCed on this because of stackleak_erase() triggering, this, but it
appears to be an existing issue for other callers too. It looks like
__branch_check__() shouldn't be emitting ftrace_likely_update() calls
for noinstr functions...

I have no idea how a macro is meant to check for function attributes,
though... :(
