The rules are that when AC is set, one is not allowed to CALL schedule,
because scheduling does not save/restore AC.  Preemption, through the
exceptions is fine, because the exceptions do save/restore AC.

And while most functions do not appear to call into schedule, function
trace ensures that every single call does in fact call into schedule.
Therefore any CALL (with AC set) is invalid.

This appears to be a 'fun' interaction between different checkers. What
happens is that __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch*() calls into
stackleak_track_stack() because it has an on-stack variable. It does
this before calling ubsan_type_mismatch_common().

ubsan_type_mismatch_common() does user_access_save/restore which
saves/restores AC and allows 'normal' code to be ran.

With the proposed __always_inline, the code generation changes such that
we run user_access_save() _before_ stackleack_track_stack() (for,
afaict, undefined raisins), and the warning goes away.

Maybe we should disable stackleak when building ubsan instead? We
already disable stack-protector when building ubsan.

I don't think this is quite right, because back then there wasn't any
uaccess validation.
