The test_insert_dup() function from lib/test_rhashtable.c passes a pointer to a stack object to rhltable_init(). Avoid that the following is reported with object debugging enabled while running the selftest from lib/test_rhashtable.c:
ODEBUG: object (ptrval) is on stack (ptrval), but NOT annotated.
