x/tools/gopls: SEGV while clearing memory in newobject

[adonovan]

#!stacks
"runtime.sigpanic:+3" && "runtime.memclrNoHeapPointers:+172" && "runtime.mallocgc" && "runtime.newobject:+1"

Issue created by stacks.

Possibly another manifestation of #71425?
Telemetry blames the RET instruction. Can it be? That's a read from the stack, but there's no way a rogue write to memory could clobber this thread's SP register.
