Subject: [PATCH] net: force inlining of netif_tx_start/stop_queue, sock_hold, __sock_put

Sometimes gcc mysteriously doesn't inline
very small functions we expect to be inlined. See
    https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66122
Arguably, gcc should do better, but gcc people aren't willing
to invest time into it, asking to use __always_inline instead.

With this .config:
http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config_OPTIMIZE_INLINING_and_Os,
the following functions get deinlined many times.

netif_tx_stop_queue: 207 copies, 590 calls:
	55                      push   %rbp
	48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
	f0 80 8f e0 01 00 00 01 lock orb $0x1,0x1e0(%rdi)
	5d                      pop    %rbp
	c3                      retq

netif_tx_start_queue: 47 copies, 111 calls
	55                      push   %rbp
	48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
	f0 80 a7 e0 01 00 00 fe lock andb $0xfe,0x1e0(%rdi)
	5d                      pop    %rbp
	c3                      retq

sock_hold: 39 copies, 124 calls
	55                      push   %rbp
	48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
	f0 ff 87 80 00 00 00    lock incl 0x80(%rdi)
	5d                      pop    %rbp
	c3                      retq

__sock_put: 6 copies, 13 calls
	55                      push   %rbp
	48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
	f0 ff 8f 80 00 00 00    lock decl 0x80(%rdi)
	5d                      pop    %rbp
	c3                      retq

This patch fixes this via s/inline/__always_inline/.

Code size decrease after the patch is ~2.5k:

    text      data      bss       dec     hex filename
