[PATCH v4 4/4] powerpc/kbuild: move -mprofile-kernel check to Kconfig

[Nicholas Piggin]

This eliminates the workaround that requires disabling
-mprofile-kernel by default in Kconfig.

[ Note: this depends on https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild.git kconfig-shell-v3 ]

Since v3:
- Moved a stray hunk back to patch 3 where it belongs.
