I cannot apply them due to whitespace changes.

Well ... it cannot really reach code where mdnobj is used if
grub_zfs_getmdnobj() fails but static analyzer may not know it.

How do you compile it? I cannot reproduce it using gcc 5.3.1 nor did it
fail previously. Do you use non-standard compiler flags?
