x86: Don't use the strict copy checks when branch profiling is in use
The branch profiling creates very complex code for each if statement, to the point that gcc has trouble even analyzing something as simple as if (count > 5) count = 5; This then means that causing an error on code that gcc cannot analyze for copy_from_user() and co is not very productive. This patch excludes the strict copy checks in the case of branch profiling being enabled.

Enabling this option turns a certain set of sanity checks for user
copy operations into compile time failures.
