This is a simple tweak to allow a bit more mid-stack inlining.
In cases like this:

func f() {
    g()
}

We'd really like to inline f into its callers. It can't hurt.

We implement this optimization by making calls a bit cheaper, enough
to afford a single call in the function body, but not 2.
The remaining budget allows for some argument modification, or perhaps
a wrapping conditional:

func f(x int) {
    g(x, 0)
}
func f(x int) {
    if x > 0 {
        g()
    }
}
