Checking if vmlinux changes after applying the patch looked like a
smart and simple way to detect all of:
- Comment-only change
- Documentation-only change
- Change to a non-current arch
- Changed to non-enabled configs
- Changes to tests only

But it's not working in reality, there is some bug in kernel or compiler:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/issues/1271#issuecomment-559093018

You may see in this bisection log as well:
culprit signature:
85ed07d5a8769c26fa0d170475624841e367ea0d08ea79f55ca450a9e97429a0
parent  signature:
2244116b3fcae3bb24003990bcd2b06a03861effee2d94675e527446c3da078f

So this commit somehow does very realistically affect the kernel
binary. So far nobody figured out why...

Before you ask, syzkaller filters out debug info, etc:
