arm64: ftrace: Don't forbid CALL_OPS+CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE with Clang
[ Upstream commit a743f26d03a96593c0f3d05dc26b388f45de67c9 ]
Per commit b3f11af9b2ce ("arm64: ftrace: forbid CALL_OPS with
CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE"), GCC is silently ignoring `-falign-functions=N`
when passed `-Os`, causing functions to be improperly aligned. This
doesn't seem to be a problem with Clang though, where enabling CALL_OPS
with CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE doesn't spit out any warnings at boot about
misaligned patch-sites. Only forbid CALL_OPS if GCC is used and we're
optimizing for size so that CALL_OPS can be used with clang optimizing
for size.
