Well, the compiler does have an opinion:

kernel/rcu/tree.c: In function ‘__call_rcu’:
kernel/rcu/tree.c:3029:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc’; did you mean ‘kasan_record_aux_stack’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
 3029 |  kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc(head);
      |  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      |  kasan_record_aux_stack

I get the same message after merging in current mainline.

I have therefore dropped this patch for the time being.
