The clang option -Oz enables *aggressive* optimization for size,
which doesn't necessarily result in smaller images, but can have
negative impact on performance. Switch back to the less aggressive
-Os.

This reverts commit 6748cb3c299de1ffbe56733647b01dbcc398c419.

Does scripts/checkpatch.pl complain about this format (full sha, no
title)?  Not sure that necessitates a v2, but if so would be good to
mention that Clang generates excessive calls into libgcc/compiler-rt
at -Oz.  Thanks for the patch and the discussion/sanity check.

Nope, for reverts checkpatch is happy with it, I suppose because by
default the subject of the reverted patch is part of the revert's
subject.

I can send a v2 if 'needed'.

Would be nice, still, to have -Ok.
