Yeah, alignment is one and visual effect the other. One can immediately
see where it starts and where it ends -- readability. There is no other
functional meaning, so I don't mind not annotating it. It's your call. So?

before:

#if defined(CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS) \
|| defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC) \
|| defined(CONFIG_PREEMPTION)
.L_restore:
popq %r11
popq %r10
popq %r9
popq %r8
popq %rax
popq %rcx
popq %rdx
popq %rsi
popq %rdi
popq %rbp
ret
_ASM_NOKPROBE(.L_restore)
#endif

after:
#if defined(CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS) \
|| defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC) \
|| defined(CONFIG_PREEMPTION)
SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL_NOALIGN(.L_restore)
popq %r11
popq %r10
popq %r9
popq %r8
popq %rax
popq %rcx
popq %rdx
popq %rsi
popq %rdi
popq %rbp
ret
_ASM_NOKPROBE(.L_restore)
SYM_CODE_END(.L_restore)
#endif
