At -Os, ARC gcc generates millicode thunk for function prologue/epilogue,
which are served by libgcc.
Modules historically are NOT linked with libgcc to avoid code bloat, reducing
runtime relocation fixups etc. I even once tried doign that but got lost
in makefile intricacies.
However CONFIG_MODULE + CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE causes link errors
| MODPOST 5 modules

Workaround that by inhibiting millicode thunks for loadable modules
Fixes STAR 9000641864:
("Linux built with optimizations for size emits errors for modules")
