Commit 9c695203a7dd ("compiler-gcc.h: gcc-4.5 needs noclone
and noinline on __naked functions") added noinline and noclone
as a workaround for a gcc 4.5 bug, which was resolved in 4.6.0.

Since now the minimum gcc supported version is 4.6,
we can clean it up.

See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44290
and https://godbolt.org/z/h6NMIL

Fixes: 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h mutually exclusive")

  * to trace naked functions because then mcount is called without
  * stack and frame pointer being set up and there is no chance to
  * restore the lr register to the value before mcount was called.
- *
- * The asm() bodies of naked functions often depend on standard calling
- * conventions, therefore they must be noinline and noclone.
- *
- * GCC 4.[56] currently fail to enforce this, so we must do so ourselves.
- * See GCC PR44290.
