I played around with this one a little more, it seems that the warning
is related to
the number of dotest() calls getting inlined into the functions. If I
comment out
a few of them (any five or more, occording to my non-scientific
tests), the warning
disappears, and it also goes away if I disable inlining that function:

--- a/lib/locking-selftest.c
+++ b/lib/locking-selftest.c

+static noinline void dotest(void (*testcase_fn)(void), int expected,
int lockclass_mask)

        unsigned long saved_preempt_count = preempt_count();
