Subject: arm: Remove enforced Os flag for LZ4 decompressor
-Os is enforced here, based on the test result of decompression time
below, slightly faster than -O2.
But further tests with UA show that using -O2 will be the right choice
especially in the case of the unaligned access enabled and the gap,
few counts in the normal decompression mode is small enough to remove -Os.
Decompression Time(counts)
Normal UA enabled
-Os 6717 3447
-O2 6720 2728
Note: ARM v7, Kernel 3.4
counter freq. = 32768 HZ
UA(Unaligned Access)
gcc version 4.6.2
