Later commits will cause objtool to warn about static keys being used in .noinstr sections in order to safely defer instruction patching IPIs targeted at NOHZ_FULL CPUs.
__sched_clock_stable is used in .noinstr code, and can be modified at runtime (e.g. time_cpufreq_notifier()). Suppressing the text_poke_sync() IPI has little benefits for this key, as NOHZ_FULL is incompatible with an unstable TSC anyway.
Mark it to let objtool know not to warn about it.
