Yeah...  It's an old b0rken handling of calls for K&R + changes that exposed
that even worse.

Status quo is restored by the patch below, but it's a stopgap - e.g.
void f();
void g(void)
{
	f(0, 0);
}
will warn about extra arguments as if we had void f(void); as sparse had
been doing all along.  B0rken.

Testcase for the segfault is
void f(x, y);
void g(void)
{
	f(0, 0);
}
