Vincent's patch commented on, and worked around, a bug toggling
static_branch's, when a 2nd PRINTK-ish flag was added. The bug
results in a premature static_branch_disable when the 1st of 2 flags
was disabled.
The cited commit computed newflags, but then in the JUMP_LABEL block,
failed to use that result, instead using just one of the terms in it.
Using newflags instead made the code work properly.
This is Vincents test-case, reduced. It needs the 2nd flag to
demonstrate the bug, but it's explanatory here.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
