This patch breaks the build on riscv (and I assume loongarch):

error[E0432]: unresolved import `_static_key_false`
--> /stuff/linux/rust/kernel/static_key.rs:87:10
|
87 | pub use {_static_key_false, static_key_false};
|          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ no external crate `_static_key_false`

Cheers,
Conor.
