x86: change OPTIMIZE_INLINING help to say enabling makes smaller kernels
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
