x86: change OPTIMIZE_INLINING help to say enabling makes smaller kernels

Browse Source 
Impact: clarify Kconfig help text

The OPTIMIZE_INLINING help currently says "The gcc 4.x series have a
rewritten inlining algorithm and disabling this option will generate a
smaller kernel there."

This contradicts other parts of the help text and my own tests:

  5463127 2008-10-11 19:51 vmlinux.no-opt
  5456152 2008-10-11 19:56 vmlinux.opt

Reword text to say that enabling OPTIMIZE_INLINING will lead to smaller
kernels with gcc 4.x or later.

developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc4 to make the decision can
become the default in the future, until then this option is there to
test gcc for this.

If unsure, say N.
