On a powerpc32 build with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE, the inline
keyword is not honored and trace_trigger_soft_disabled() appears
approx 50 times in vmlinux.

Adding -Winline to the build, the following message appears:

./include/linux/trace_events.h:712:1: error: inlining failed in call to 'trace_trigger_soft_disabled': call is unlikely and code size would grow [-Werror=inline]

That function is rather big for an inlined function:

However it is located in a hot path so inlining it is important.
But forcing inlining of the entire function by using __always_inline
leads to increasing the text size by approx 20 kbytes.

Instead, split the fonction in two parts, one part with the likely
fast path, flagged __always_inline, and a second part out of line.

With this change, on a powerpc32 with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE
vmlinux text increases by only 1,4 kbytes, which is partly
compensated by a decrease of vmlinux data by 7 kbytes.

On ppc64_defconfig which has CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SPEED, this
change reduces vmlinux text by more than 30 kbytes.
