Subject: [RFC: 2.6 patch] build kernel/profile.o only when requested

Build kernel/profile.o only if CONFIG_PROFILING is enabled.

This makes CONFIG_PROFILING=n kernels smaller.

As a bonus, some profile_tick() calls and one branch from schedule() are 
now eliminated with CONFIG_PROFILING=n (but I doubt these are
measurable effects).

This patch changes the effects of CONFIG_PROFILING=n, but I don't think 
having more than two choices would be the better choice.

This patch also adds the name of the first parameter to the prototypes 
of profile_{hits,tick}() since I anyway had to add them for the dummy 
functions.
