The commoning up of `stg_ap` closures shouldn't happen when profiling,
 because we lose information about closure's type.

 However: what about selector thunks?  The same problem exists there, but
 selector thunks are vital for avoiding space leaks, so not generating them
 will have an adverse affect on the profile.
