[PATCH] When CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, allow gcc4 to control inlining

If optimizing for size (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE), allow gcc4 compilers
to decide what to inline and what not - instead of the kernel forcing gcc
to inline all the time.  This requires several places that require to be
inlined to be marked as such, previous patches in this series do that.

This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc4 to make the decision can
become the default in the future, until then this option is there to
test gcc for this.
