Thanks for sending the patch for this one.  Objtool always gets confused
by new compiler versions, I really think we need to revert
 
  644592d32837 ("objtool: Fail the kernel build on fatal errors")

because objtool is never going to be reliable enough such that we can be
confident that failing the build is the right thing to do.
