Subject: [PATCH v16.1 26/33] x86/kvm: Make test_cc() always inline

With some configs (including allyesconfig), gcc doesn't inline
test_cc().  When that happens, test_cc() doesn't create a stack frame
before inserting the inline asm call instruction.  This breaks frame
pointer convention if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is enabled and can result in
a bad stack trace.

Force it to always be inlined so that its containing function's stack
frame can be used.
