Next one.. bpf_obj_free_fields: field->kptr.dtor(xchg_field);

The one that trips is bpf_cgroup_release().

objtool doesn't think the address of that function 'escapes' and
'helpfully' seals that function, and then BPF thinks it does escape and
manages the above indirect call and *boom*.

How can I tell which functions escape according to BPF such that I might
teach objtool this?
