These are the same warns reported by Niklas in V13. Dan fixed them in
smatch in devel branch but fix is not in master. Testing with smatch on
that branch yields no warnings.

https://repo.or.cz/smatch.git/commit/d12183645a31b737d7fb39cbefa589e34615e8f7

v17 is still needed to revert one breaking change introduced in v16 and
fix more findings from Sashiko.

Thanks,
