This patch as commit 1e688dd2a3d6 ("powerpc/bug: Provide better
flexibility to WARN_ON/__WARN_FLAGS() with asm goto") cause a WARN_ON in
klist_add_tail to trigger over and over on boot when compiling with
clang:

Is this a bug with clang or is there something wrong with the patch? The
vmlinux image is available at [1] if you want to inspect it and our QEMU
command and the warning at boot can be viewed at [2]. If there is any
other information I can provide, please let me know.
