percpu: drop CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU
alpha requires percpu variables in modules to be defined as weak so that the
compiler generates GOT based external references for them. This puts two
extra restrictions on percpu variable definitions. The symbol must be
globally unique even when static and a static percpu variable can't be
defined inside a function. DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU exists to give generic
code build coverage for these restrictions without building for alpha.
MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING defines a static percpu counter at each allocation call
site and thus can't be built with weak percpu definitions, so it depends on
!DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU. As allmodconfig enables DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU,
this knocks MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING out of allmodconfig build coverage.
allmodconfig coverage for MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING is worth more than build
coverage for restrictions which only matter to alpha module builds. Drop
DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU. Restriction violations will now show up only on
alpha builds.
