[PATCH] Remove redundant (deprecated) CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING option.

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@mindspring.com>]

  Remove the superfluous kernel config option FORCED_UNLINING from the
kernel debugging menu.

Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@mindspring.com>

---

  based on adrian bunk's explanation, and the fact that i just noticed
this option was scheduled for removal several months ago anyway, this
option clearly has no value.

-Why:	Config option is there to see if gcc is good enough. (in january
