This clearly comes from __trace_if() when CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES
is enabled. I did not see the warning with gcc-7.1.1, and I guess this only
happens on older compilers like the gcc-4.4 that was used here.

What is the reason for __FORTIFY_INLINE to be "extern __always_inline"
rather than "static __always_inline"? If they cannot just be 'static', maybe
this can be changed to depend on the compiler version.
