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.ca...@suse.de

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.
