And that is the error, I think. We should've taken it and went to:

  return -EFAULT;

because:

 +1be	xor  %eax,%eax	eax=0
 +1cd   xor  $0x1,%eax	eax=1
 +1e2   test %al,%al	1&1==1 -> ZF=0
 +1e4   jnz

Is an unconditional code sequence, but there's no way objtool can do
that without becoming a full blown interpreter :/
