For the exception based __WARN_trap() implementation it is technically not
necessary to prevent tail-call optimization, however it may be confusing to
see warning messages like:
WARNING: arch/s390/kernel/setup.c:1017 at foobar+0x2c/0x50, CPU#0: swapper/0/0
together with a disassembly of a different function caused by tail-call
optimization for the __WARN_trap() call. Prevent that by adding an empty
asm statement. This generates slightly worse code, but should hopefully
avoid confusion.
With this the output looks like:
WARNING: arch/s390/kernel/setup.c:1017 at foobar+0x2c/0x50, CPU#0: swapper/0/0

A better solution would be to replace or patch the branch instruction to
__WARN_trap() with the monitor call instruction, similar to what is done
for x86 [1]. However s390 does not support static_cond_calls(). Therefore
use the simple approach for the time being.
