Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Drop unneeded __always_inline for p4d page table helpers

This reverts commits 1ea66554d3b09ce09c42e6a871899c84a276bb39 and
046c0dbec0238c25b7526c26c9a9687664229ce2.

p4d_offset(), native_set_p4d() and native_p4d_clear() were marked
__always_inline in attempt to move __pgtable_l5_enabled into __initdata
section.

It was required as KASAN initialization code is a user of
USE_EARLY_PGTABLE_L5, so all pgtable_l5_enabled() translated to
__pgtable_l5_enabled there. This includes pgtable_l5_enabled() called
from inline p4d helpers.

If compiler would decided to not inline these p4d helpers, but leave
them standalone, we end up with section mismatch.

We don't need __always_inline here anymore. __pgtable_l5_enabled moved
back to be __ro_after_init. See commit

  51be13351517 ("Revert "x86/mm: Mark __pgtable_l5_enabled __initdata"")
