This can easily double the time for compiling a driver but does not
provide any benefit for the compile tester, so it's better left disabled.
In addition, any 'inline' function that is not also 'static' and that
contains an 'if' causes a warning like
include/linux/string.h:212:2: note: in expansion of macro 'if'
if (strscpy(p, q, p_size < q_size ? p_size : q_size) < 0)
^~
include/linux/compiler.h:162:4: warning: '______f' is static but declared in
inline function 'strcpy' which is not static
without this patch, and I could not come up with a nice fix for that.
In combination with my patch to always enable 'CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST'
during 'randconfig' builds, we can at least hide these warnings for
most users.

This tracer profiles all branch conditions. Every if ()
taken in the kernel is recorded whether it hit or miss.
