Regressions

Support forwarding caller location through trait object method call #81360

• Moderate regression in instruction counts (up to 1.5% on incr-full builds of unused-warnings-check)
• Largely due to increased number of calls to the newly-made query should_inherit_track_caller. Mostly higher regressions on smaller benchmarks.

• Moderate improvement in instruction counts (up to -2.5% on full builds of html5ever-opt)

• Moderate improvement in instruction counts (up to -2.2% on incr-patched: b9b3e592dd cherry picked builds of style-servo-debug)
