This is KASAN's __no_sanitize_address function attribute. Some GCC
versions are utterly wrecked when that function attribute is combined
with inlining. It wants to have matching attributes for the function
being inlined and function it is inlined into -- hence the function
attribute mismatch.

*groan*... So supposedly it was supposed to work on GCC-8 and later, see
commit 7b861a53e46b6. But now it turns out there's some later versions
that fail too.

I suppose the next quest is finding a s390 compiler version that works
and then bumping the version test in the aforementioned commit.
