Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] alpha: Use OPTIMIZE_INLINING instead of asm/compiler.h

Use CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPTIMIZED_INLINING and CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING
instead of undefining the inline macros in the alpha specific
asm/compiler.h. This is to allow asm/compiler.h to become a general
header that can be used for overriding linux/compiler*.h.

A build of alpha's defconfig on GCC 7.3 before and after this series
(i.e. this commit and "compiler.h: Allow arch-specific overrides" which
includes asm/compiler.h from linux/compiler_types.h) results in the
following size differences, which appear harmless to me:

$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux.1 vmlinux.2
add/remove: 1/1 grow/shrink: 3/0 up/down: 264/-348 (-84)
Function                                     old     new   delta

Total: Before=5823709, After=5823625, chg -0.00%
