When sampleFDO is enabled, people may expect they can use
-fno-profile-sample-use to opt-out using sample profile for a certain file.
That could be either for debugging purpose or for performance tuning purpose.
However, when thinlto is enabled, if a function in file A compiled with
-fno-profile-sample-use is imported to another file B compiled with
-fprofile-sample-use, the inlined copy of the function in file B may still
get its profile annotated.
The inconsistency may even introduce profile unused warning because if the
target is not compiled with explicit debug information flag, the function
in file A won't have its debug information enabled (debug information will
be enabled implicitly only when -fprofile-sample-use is used). After it is
imported into file B which is compiled with -fprofile-sample-use, profile
annotation for the outline copy of the function will fail because the
function has no debug information, and that will trigger profile unused
warning.
We add a new attribute use-sample-profile to control whether a function
will use its sample profile no matter for its outline or inline copies.
That will make the behavior of -fno-profile-sample-use consistent.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

Summary: It is possible that multiple indirect call targets have been promoted for a single callsite from the profiled binary. Current implementation repeats promotion for all these targets as far as the callsite itself is hot (the callsite is assumed to be hot if any one of these targets was "hot" during the profiling). However, even when one of the ICPed target is hot other targets may not, and we should not repeat promotion for "cold" targets.
