I have run into this specific one before but failed to come up with a working fix.
I think the specific warning started with
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240828030321.20688-3-laoar.shao@gmail.com/
but reverting that just replaces it with a slightly different warning. In my randconfig tree I have a patch that comments out the two security_task_getlsmprop_obj(), and I don't think I get warnings at the moment, but I no longer see why I would have done that.
