commit 68e76e034b6b1c1ce2eece1ab8ae4008e14be470 upstream.

I regularly get 50 MB - 60 MB files during kernel randconfig builds.
These large files mostly contain (many repeats of; e.g., 124,594):

In file included from ../include/linux/string.h:6:0,
from ../include/linux/uuid.h:20,
from ../include/linux/mod_devicetable.h:13,
from ../scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.c:3:
../include/linux/compiler.h:64:4: warning: '______f' is static but declared in inline function 'strcpy' which is not static [enabled by default]
______f = { \
^
../include/linux/compiler.h:56:23: note: in expansion of macro '__trace_if'
^
../include/linux/string.h:425:2: note: in expansion of macro 'if'
if (p_size == (size_t)-1 && q_size == (size_t)-1)
^

This only happens when CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y and
CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES=y, so prevent PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES if
FORTIFY_SOURCE=y.
