From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

The zstd code forces inlining to improve code generation with most
compiler versions. However, when CONFIG_KASAN_STACK is enabled, it has
the opposite effect by causing excessive spilling of local variables to
the stack, to the point where the stack warning limit is exceeded:

lib/zstd/decompress/huf_decompress.c: In function 'HUF_decompress4X2_usingDTable_internal_default':
lib/zstd/decompress/huf_decompress.c:1512:1: error: the frame size of 1616 bytes is larger than 1536 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
lib/zstd/decompress/zstd_decompress_block.c: In function 'ZSTD_decompressSequencesLong_body.constprop':
lib/zstd/decompress/zstd_decompress_block.c:1889:1: error: the frame size of 1584 bytes is larger than 1536 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

Disable the extra inlining in this configuration and rely on
the normal compiler heuristics instead.
