Hmm, is this a result of your c705cecc8431 ("objtool: Track original function across branches") ?

I'm thinking it might've 'overlooked' the CLAC in the error path before
(because it didn't have a related function) and now it sees it and
worries about it.

Then again, I'm not seeing this warning on my GCC builds; so what's
happening?
