Arnd Bergmann 4c9ad387aa iommu, debugobjects: avoid gcc-16.1 section mismatch warnings
gcc-16 has gained some more advanced inter-procedual optimization
techniques that enable it to inline the dummy_tlb_add_page() and
dummy_tlb_flush() function pointers into a specialized version of
__arm_v7s_unmap:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __arm_v7s_unmap+0x2cc (section: .text) -> dummy_tlb_add_page (section: .init.text)
ERROR: modpost: Section mismatches detected.

>From what I can tell, the transformation is correct, as this is only
called when __arm_v7s_unmap() is called from arm_v7s_do_selftests(),
which is also __init. Since __arm_v7s_unmap() however is not __init,
gcc cannot inline the inner function calls directly.

In debug_objects_selftest(), the same thing happens. Both the
caller and the leaf function are __init, but the IPA pulls
it into a non-init one:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: lookup_object_or_alloc+0x7c (section: .text.lookup_object_or_alloc) -> is_static_object (section: .init.text)

Marking the affected functions as not "__init" would reliably avoid this
issue but is not a good solution because it removes an otherwise correct
annotation. I tried marking the functions as 'noinline', but that ended
up not covering all the affected configurations.

With some more experimenting, I found that marking these functions as
__attribute__((noipa)) is both logical and reliable.

In order to keep the syntax readable, add a custom macro for this in
include/linux/compiler_attributes.h next to other related macros and
use it to annotate both files.
