Revert "compiler-gcc: disable -ftracer for __noclone functions"
The -ftracer optimization was disabled in __noclone as a workaround to GCC duplicating a blob of inline assembly that happened to define a global variable. It has been pointed out that no amount of workarounds can guarantee the compiler won't duplicate inline assembly[1], and that disabling the -ftracer optimization has several unintended and nasty side effects[2][3]. Now that the offending KVM code which required the workaround has been properly fixed and no longer uses __noclone, remove the -ftracer optimization tweak from __noclone.
