This one is fixed with the following cleanup:

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH] linkage: Convert syscall alias macros to C

There's no need to use inline asm to create ELF alias symbols.
Annotated C function declarations can be used instead.

This also makes the ordering of the ELF symbol table more logical, with
the real function now always coming before the aliases.  This makes it
easier for objtool, objdump and other tools to differentiate them.

This fixes the following warning:

  kernel/time/posix-stubs.o: warning: objtool: __x64_sys_timer_create()+0x23: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
