testcase to be compiled with -O2

The effect of the bug is to eliminate the NULL-pointer check for rtc->ops->f
and always call it, which is not a good idea when it is NULL.  Test-case
derived from a Linux driver.

Unfortunately, presence of a main function makes the bug hide by slightly
changing the generated code, so I have to put the framework in a separate file
to make a runnable test-case. This is a secondary bug, for which I will clone a
PR from this PR: with the marker-asms and attributes noclone, noinline, there
should be no need for that.  It seems static branch predictions change.
