Actually, this is a different bug with the same symptom.
Applying the patch from Peter, and running it:
$ ./.build_test_kernel-x86_64/tools/objtool/objtool check -abdJsuld .build_test_kernel-x86_64/vmlinux.o

.build_test_kernel-x86_64/vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: want_init_on_free()+0x0: jump-label unpatched
This is against a freshly built kernel -- i removed the build directory,
copied in a .config file and built a fresh kernel.
