Hi,

mrwizardwizard <terrym3201@protonmail.com> reported kernel FTBFS on bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219099) when the kernel
is built with LTO:

> Hello,

> ./arch/x86/include/asm/current.h:42:25: error: 'const_pcpu_hot' causes a section type conflict with 'pcpu_hot' const_pcpu_hot);

He could reproduce the build error on mainline:
