This can happen when there's a lot of KUNIT_EXPECT_* calls in a single function.
See [1] for some related context.
There were a number of patches that went into 5.18 ([2] and others) to
try and mitigate this, but it's not always enough.

Ideally the compiler would see that the stack-local variables used in
these macros don't need to stick around, but it doesn't always
happen...
One workaround would be to split up the test case functions into smaller chunks.
