Having built this with GCC 12.1.0 and LLVM 14.0.0, I think this patch itself
doesn't introduce any new problems, and logically makes sense. With that in
mind:

  Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>

As an aside, having scanned the resulting vmlinux with objdump, there are
plenty of latent issues where we get KCSAN instrumentation where we don't want
it (e.g. early/late in arm64's entry-common.o). The bulk of those are due to
missing `nonistr` or `__always_inline`, which we'll need to fix up.

Thanks,
Mark.
