The quilt patch titled
     Subject: Revert "printf: Compile the kunit test with DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING"
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     revert-printf-compile-the-kunit-test-with-disable_branch_profiling-disable_branch_profiling.patch

Subject: Revert "printf: Compile the kunit test with DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING"

This reverts commit 8901ac9d2c7eb8ed7ae5e749bf13ecb3b6062488.

The commit 94bfc7f3b0c7 ("err.h: use __always_inline on all error pointer
helpers") fixes the problem with a dead code elimination by always
inlining IS_ERR() function.  It prevents the related linker failures as
well.

The workaround with disabling branch profiling is not longer necessary.
