That upstream patch caused issues and was subsequently reverted in commit:

  a6b3eb304a82c29665a0ab947cfe276f6d29f523
  ("Revert "arm64: jump_label: use constraints "Si" instead of "i""")

Please drop this; it'll break stable in the same way, and it wasn't necessary
to backport in the first place.

As an aside, that revert has been upstream since v6.8-rc4, ~2.5 weeks ago; it's
unfortunate for the broken patch to be AUTOSEL'd now! It'd be good if something
could automatically check for reverts in mainline...

Mark.
