sparse breakage triggered by rcu_read_lock() lockdep annotations

FWIW, commit 851a67b825540a8e00c0be3ee25e4627ba8b133b
aka "lockdep: annotate rcu_read_{,un}lock{,_bh}"
causes sparse to trigger internal assertion in quite a few places over
allyesconfig run.
sparse: flow.c:805: rewrite_parent_branch: Assertion `changed' failed.
Trimmed down testcase:
void f(unsigned long ip);
static void g(void)
{
if (1) {
f(({ __label__ x; x: (unsigned long)&&x; }));
}
f(({ __label__ x; x: (unsigned long)&&x; }));
}
