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.

  [110907] DATASEC '.data..percpu' size=178904 vlen=303
  ...
        type_id=27753 offset=163976 size=4 (VAR 'numa_node')
        type_id=27754 offset=163976 size=4 (VAR 'numa_node')

  [27753] VAR 'numa_node' type_id=27556, linkage=static
  [27754] VAR 'numa_node' type_id=20, linkage=global

  [20] INT 'int' size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED

  [27556] STRUCT 'pagesets' size=0 vlen=1
        'lock' type_id=507 bits_offset=0

  [506] STRUCT '(anon)' size=0 vlen=0
  [507] TYPEDEF 'local_lock_t' type_id=506

The patch in question introduces a zero-sized per-cpu struct and while
this is not wrong, versions of pahole prior to 1.22 get confused during
BTF generation with two separate variables occupying the same address.

This patch adds a requirement for pahole 1.22 before setting
DEBUG_INFO_BTF.  While pahole 1.22 does not exist yet, a fix is in the
pahole git tree as ("btf_encoder: fix and complete filtering out zero-sized
per-CPU variables").
