tracing: change branch profiling to a choice selection
This patch makes the branch profiling into a choice selection:
None - no branch profiling
likely/unlikely - only profile likely/unlikely branches
all - profile all branches
The all profiler will also enable the likely/unlikely branches.
This does not change the way the profiler works or the dependencies
between the profilers.
What this patch does, is keep the branch profiling from being selected
by an allyesconfig make. The branch profiler is very intrusive and
it is known to break various architecture builds when selected as an
allyesconfig.
[ Impact: prevent branch profiler from being selected in allyesconfig ]
