Commit 9012d011660e ("compiler: allow all arches to enable
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING") allowed all architectures to enable
this option. A couple of build errors were reported by randconfig,
but all of them have been ironed out.

Towards the goal of removing CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING entirely
(and it will simplify the 'inline' macro in compiler_types.h),
this commit changes it to always-on option. Going forward, the
compiler will always be allowed to not inline functions marked
'inline'.

This is not a problem for x86 since it has been long used by
arch/x86/configs/{x86_64,i386}_defconfig.

I am keeping the config option just in case any problem crops up for
other architectures.

The code clean-up will be done after confirming this is solid.

This was found to cause a regression on a Raspberry Pi 2 B built with
bcm2835_defconfig which among other things has no SMP support.

The relevant logs (edited to remove the noise) are:

[    5.827333] Run /init as init process
Loading, please wait...

I looked into it, it turns out that the call to get_user() in sock_setsockopt()
is returning -EFAULT. Down the assembly rabbit hole that get_user() is I
found-out that it's the macro 'check_uaccess' who's triggering the error.

I'm clueless at this point, so I hope you can give me some hints on what's
going bad here.

Nicolas
