0-day bot reported some new objtool warnings which were caused by the
new annotate_unreachable() macro:

  fs/afs/flock.o: warning: objtool: afs_do_unlk()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save
  fs/afs/flock.o: warning: objtool: afs_do_unlk()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch
  fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.o: warning: objtool: btrfs_delete_delayed_dir_index()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save
  fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.o: warning: objtool: btrfs_delete_delayed_dir_index()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch
  fs/dlm/lock.o: warning: objtool: _grant_lock()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save
  fs/dlm/lock.o: warning: objtool: _grant_lock()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch
  fs/ocfs2/alloc.o: warning: objtool: ocfs2_mv_path()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save
  fs/ocfs2/alloc.o: warning: objtool: ocfs2_mv_path()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch

It turns out that, for older versions of GCC, if a function has multiple
BUG() incantations, GCC will sometimes merge the corresponding
annotate_unreachable() inline asm statements into a single block.  That
has the undesirable effect of removing one of the entries in the
__unreachable section, confusing objtool greatly.

A workaround for this issue is to ensure that each instance of the
inline asm statement uses a different label, so that GCC sees the
statements are unique and leaves them alone.  The inline asm ‘%=’ token
could be used for that, but unfortunately older versions of GCC don't
support it.  So I implemented a poor man's version of it with the
__LINE__ macro.
