mainline build failure due to 281d0c962752 ("fortify: Add Clang support")

Hi All,

I have recently (since yesterday) started building the mainline kernel
with clang-14 and I am seeing a build failure with allmodconfig.

                        __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);

After a bisect it pointed to 281d0c962752 ("fortify: Add Clang support").
Since it was introduced in v5.18, not sure if its already reported before.
