The below objtool thing reliably detects this pattern:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __put_user_nocheck_1+0x4: duplicate ENDBR
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __put_user_nocheck_2+0x4: duplicate ENDBR
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __put_user_nocheck_4+0x4: duplicate ENDBR
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __put_user_nocheck_8+0x4: duplicate ENDBR
