For annoying architectural reasons, it's very difficult to support inline
instrumentation on powerpc64.
Add a Kconfig flag to allow an arch to disable inline. (It's a bit
annoying to be 'backwards', but I'm not aware of any way to have
an arch force a symbol to be 'n', rather than 'y'.)
We also disable stack instrumentation in this case as it does things that
are functionally equivalent to inline instrumentation, namely adding
code that touches the shadow directly without going through a C helper.
