This reverts commit ac7c3e4ff401b304489a031938dbeaab585bfe0a for ARM and
arm64.
Building an arm64 kernel with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y has been shown
to violate fixed register allocations of local variables passed to
inline assembly with GCC prior to version 9 which can lead to subtle
failures at runtime:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91111
A very similar has been reported for 32-bit ARM as well:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/f5c221f5749e5768c9f0d909175a14910d349456.camel@suse.de (local)
Although GCC 9.1 appears to work for the specific case in the bugzilla
above, the exact issue has not been root-caused so play safe and disable
the option for now on these architectures.

This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
