[PATCH v2] Makefile: Add option to disable gcc automatic inlining

[Ezequiel Garcia]

The new option is CONFIG_CC_DISABLE_AUTO_INLINE and it's
located at:
  * Kernel hacking
    * Disable gcc automatic inlining

This option appends this options CFLAGS:

-fno-default-inline
-fno-inline
-fno-inline-small-functions
-fno-indirect-inlining
-fno-inline-functions-called-once

It's still not clear which of these really work and which doesn't.
Just in case, just disable all of them.

 * Change define name to CONFIG_CC_XXX
