linux-next 20180320 compile failure - tools/lib/str_error_r.c

Not sure who to blame here, or what changed in gcc between 0.16 and 0.19,
or what the proper fix is here....

next-20180307 with "gcc version 8.0.1 20180222 (Red Hat 8.0.1-0.16)" built and runs fine.

next-20180320 with "gcc (GCC) 8.0.1 20180317 (Red Hat 8.0.1-0.19)" dies a horrid death early
during the compile:

CC /usr/src/linux-next/tools/objtool/str_error_r.o
../lib/str_error_r.c: In function 'str_error_r':
../lib/str_error_r.c:25:3: error: passing argument 1 to restrict-qualified parameter aliases with argument 5 [-Werror=restrict]
snprintf(buf, buflen, "INTERNAL ERROR: strerror_r(%d, %p, %zd)=%d", errnum, buf, buflen, err);
