[PATCH] D78162: [CodeGen] Mark inline definitions of builtins as nobuiltin only if we plan to emit them.

This suboptimality was encountered in Linux (see some discussion on D71082 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D71082>, and https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/979).

While it'd be great to have the kernel's FORTIFY working well with clang, it seems best to preserve old functionality in cases where D71082 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D71082> can't emit a FORTIFY'ed wrapper of a builtin. With this patch, the `memcpy` in the test-case here https://reviews.llvm.org/D71082#1953975 compiles back to a `mov`.
