Not a fan of this.

My first question would be what clang does differently in this
configuration (ARM) than in all other configurations (x86, etc.) and gcc.

Overall as evidenced by:
> CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST=y
this is test only and this commit doesn't fix anything for x86 this
driver targets.

Based on description in message and in github link:
Looking at avs_path_module_type_create() it uses guid_equal() which is
marked as inline, but is just a wrapper around memcmp(), which in case
of fortify is still marked as inline... memcmp itself has 2 size_t
variables for performing fortify check... no matter how I calculate, it
shouldn't go above stack size, unless clang decides to also inline all
calls to static avs_xxx_create functions. They are not marked as inline
or noinline, so in theory compiler is free to do whatever it wants, but
apparently it goes wrong way? Of course the above may be wrong, because
I just analyzed code, not real output of clang.

Anyway it is probably ok, to do this, as while it needs to be fast
module creation is not really time critical, and some time will be spend
to communicate with DSP instead of calculating things, but still wonder
if there isn't something that can be done on compiler side...
