Andrii Nakryiko bisected the problem to the commit "mm/page_alloc: convert
per-cpu list protection to local_lock" currently staged in mmotm. In his
own words
The immediate problem is two different definitions of numa_node per-cpu
variable. They both are at the same offset within .data..percpu ELF
section, they both have the same name, but one of them is marked as
static and another as global. And one is int variable, while another
is struct pagesets. I'll look some more tomorrow, but adding Jiri and
Arnaldo for visibility.

The patch in question introduces a zero-sized per-cpu struct and while
this is not wrong, versions of pahole prior to 1.22 (unreleased) get
confused during BTF generation with two separate variables occupying the
same address.
This patch checks for older versions of pahole and forces struct pagesets
to be non-zero sized as a workaround when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is set. A
warning is omitted so that distributions can update pahole when 1.22
is released.
