I'm super not into having the rust optimization level differ from the
C optimization level.  This is just someone having too much fun
wrapping every compiler flag in a kbuild option.  Either folks wan't
smaller size or more optimizations. Allowing for RUST_OPT_LEVEL_S and
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE or RUST_OPT_LEVEL_3 and
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is just wacky nonsense that's going to
make randconfig bug reports more confusing to tease out.
