Ah; good spot. I'd missed that those were initialized to RET0.

I've changed those two to DECLARE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(), which defaults those to
disabled, e.g.

| <dynamic_cond_resched>:
|        bti     c
|        nop     // <-------- `b <dynamic_cond_resched+0x10>` when enabled
|        mov     w0, #0x0
|        ret
|        mrs     x0, sp_el0
|        ldr     x0, [x0, #8]
|        cbnz    x0, 9d8 <dynamic_cond_resched+0x8>
|        paciasp
|        stp     x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
|        mov     x29, sp
|        bl      900 <preempt_schedule_common>
|        mov     w0, #0x1
|        ldp     x29, x30, [sp], #16
|        autiasp
|        ret

Thanks,
Mark.
