compiler: remove CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING entirely

Commit ac7c3e4ff401 ("compiler: enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING
forcibly") made this always-on option. We released v5.4 and v5.5
including that commit.

Remove the CONFIG option and clean up the code now.

-	  This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
