21-CONFIG_PROFILE.patch

We have had the CONFIG_PROFILE option for years now, but anybody who has ever looked at the code knows that it really does absolutely nothing, in that the code is always compiled in and the boot argument controls whether profiling is active or not.
This patch (v2.1.33) puts CONFIG_PROFILE to use by saving a few bytes here and there, and also removes an extra if(...) from the scheduler.
