The warning is wrong, as mentioned in the line right above:

         /*
          * Use a bitwise-OR instead of a logical-OR to aggregate the reserved
          * bits and EPT's invalid memtype/XWR checks to avoid an extra Jcc
          * (this is extremely unlikely to be short-circuited as true).
          */
