#4908: Avoid switch_to_blog in bp_core_fetch_avatar

 In a multisite installation with buddypress enabled (network wide) every
 ''get_avatar()'' triggers a switch_to_blog() on child sites.

 The reason is the check, whether avatars are activated:


 {{{
 if ( ! bp_get_option( 'show_avatars' ) )
                 return;
 }}}

 in http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-core/bp-core-
 avatars.php#L96

 ''bp_get_option()'' forces the ''switch_to_blog()'' to get the option from
 the root blog for every avatar. I don't see a way to avoid this in current
 version.

 Can we add a simple check for a constant like "BP_AVATAR_ENABLED" or
 something to give the chance to avoid this ''bp_get_option()'' - call?
