Subject: [PATCH 3/3] jiffies: Force inlining of {m,u}msecs_to_jiffies()

With this config:
http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config_OPTIMIZE_INLINING_and_Os
gcc-4.7.2 generates many copies of these tiny functions:

msecs_to_jiffies (45 copies):
55                      push   %rbp
48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
e8 59 ec 03 00          callq  __msecs_to_jiffies
5d                      pop    %rbp
c3                      retq

usecs_to_jiffies (10 copies):
55                      push   %rbp
48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
e8 5d 54 5e ff          callq  __usecs_to_jiffies
5d                      pop    %rbp
c3                      retq

See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66122

This patch fixes this via s/inline/__always_inline/
