We can't call this macro in the same scope for functions w/ different
signatures.

E.g. if we add this func to the example test
  static void other_func(void) {}
then trying to call kunit_activate_static_stub() on it in the same
test case, we get

Afaict, the problem is that GCC thinks we're declaring a *function*
called __dummy, not a variable.
So it bleeds across the scope boundary of do-while unlike normal variables.

There's the typecheck_fn macro, but it doesn't work either.
