Inlines can be optimized away.  These tests are usually inlines.

Do you have an example where the code is actually different,
or are you just speculating?

FWIW for my config both generates the same code:

size vmlinux-andi-vmbug vmlinux-vmbug-nothing 
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
11809704        1457352 1159168 14426224         dc2070 vmlinux-andi-vmbug
11809704        1457352 1159168 14426224         dc2070 vmlinux-vmbug-nothing
