Makefile: Use -O3 optimization for CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE

-O3 is much more stable with modern compilers these days than it was a
decade ago. Using -O3 on the kernel results in significantly improved
hackbench performance, which is a sign that overall performance in the
kernel is improved. It works especially well in conjunction with LTO.
