Per commit b3f11af9b2ce ("arm64: ftrace: forbid CALL_OPS with
CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE"), GCC is silently ignoring `-falign-functions=N`
when passed `-Os`, causing functions to be improperly aligned. This
doesn't seem to be a problem with Clang though, where enabling CALL_OPS
with CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE doesn't spit out any warnings at boot about
misaligned patch-sites. Only forbid CALL_OPS if GCC is used and we're
optimizing for size so that CALL_OPS can be used with clang optimizing
for size.

Seems reasonable to me.

Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>

I wonder if that GCC issue is resolved with '-fmin-function-alignment'
that is being introduced in GCC 14 [1]. If it is, I suspect this
conditional could actually be CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT
instead of CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG, but that can obviously happen as a clean
up later down the road (more just food for thought for the arm64 folks,
not sure how much '-Os' is used in general)

Applied to arm64 (for-next/misc), thanks!
