We should have a symbol that is only set for allyesconfig builds.

Then we could do something like:

config TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING
	depends on !ALLYESCONFIG

The advantage is that it is obvious why we have defiend
it like this rather than some inverse symbols.

I looked at generating such symbol in kconfig long time
ago but never finished it.
