Before this, there were false negatives in the case where a struct
contains other structs which contain only function pointers because
of unreachable code in is_pure_ops_struct().

Ah, very true. Something like:

struct internal {
	void (*callback)(void);
};

struct wrapper {
	struct internal foo;
	void (*other_callback)(void);
};

would have not been detected as is_pure_ops_struct()?

How did you notice this? (Are there cases of this in the kernel?)

Applied; thanks!

When I compiled kernel with allyesconfig, there seemed to be no such cases,
but I found the bug just by code review and test.
However, I would like to slightly modify this patch and add one more patch.
I will send the patch set soon.
