tpg_fill_plane_buffer() is a rather complex function. While there is
nothing wrong with it per se, I have run into corner cases with clang-22
on s390 using KASAN that makes it run out of registers and blow the
stack warning limit from excessive spills:

drivers/media/common/v4l2-tpg/v4l2-tpg-core.c:2629:6: error: stack frame size (1560) exceeds limit (1536)
      in 'tpg_fill_plane_buffer' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
 2629 | void tpg_fill_plane_buffer(struct tpg_data *tpg, v4l2_std_id std,

Forcing the two largest callees out of line completely avoids the problem
and prevents all the register spills, with the stack usage for each function
going down to a few bytes for the local variables.

Arguably this is a problem caused by clang rather than the code, but
a noinline_for_stack annotation is an easy workaround.

If anyone thinks we should track this as an llvm bug, I can help
come up with a reproducer
