So, this turned out to be a rat-hole de-ja-vu. The short version is "I
was using Clang 16 where this doesn't manifest", and the long version is
"some inline attributes are broke on all versions of GCC[1] and on Clang
until version 16". :(

I will send the work-around series I've put together to address it. At
the end of the day I now have a WAY more robust set of __alloc_size
KUnit tests. :P
