[Inlining] Introduce -enable-npm-pgo-inline-deferral

[kazu]

Summary

Experiments show that inline deferral past pre-inlining slightly
pessimizes the performance.

This patch introduces an option to control inline deferral during PGO.
The option defaults to true for now (that is, NFC).

give it a default value (true)?

[kazu]

Made the last parameter of shouldInline optional.

PTAL Thanks!

Experiments show that inline deferral past pre-inlining slightly pessimizes the performance.

What are the performance numbers in terms of % you saw when deferral is disabled, if it's ok to share? Was it from Instr. PGO or Sample FDO? Asking because the new switch seems to cover both.

I am seeing 0.2% to 0.3% improvement in one of our internal benchmarks. Please see https://reviews.llvm.org/D81216 for more numbers. My experiment is from Instrumentation-based PGO.
