perf tools: Remove broken __no_tail_call attribute

Browse source 
The GCC specific __attribute__((optimize)) attribute does not what is
commonly expected and is explicitly recommended against using in
production code by the GCC people.

Unlike what is often expected, it doesn't add to the optimization flags,
but it fully replaces them, loosing any and all optimization flags
provided by the compiler commandline.

The only guaranteed upon means of inhibiting tail-calls is by placing a
volatile asm with side-effects after the call such that the tail-call simply
cannot be done.

Given the original commit wasn't specific on which calls were the problem, this
removal might re-introduce the problem, which can then be re-analyzed and cured
properly.
