I got to this patch experimentally, it fixes the problem for me:

+static __always_inline unsigned long __ffs(unsigned long word)
{
return __fls(word & -word);
}

It does look like a gcc bug though, as at least some of the references
are from a function that got split out from an inlined function but that
has no remaining call sites.
