fold_builtin_object_size can be called from fold_builtin_call_array,
which is in turn is invoked from build_call_expr and build_function_call_expr.
These are called in the front-end (c-omp.c) and back-end (rtx stuff in
expr.c) as well as middle-end passes. It is likely that there is no reason
why we need to do the object size optimization in all of theses cases,
but, as the code is presently structured, it looks like it can happen in
multiple places.
