Subject: [PATCH v19 06/10] sched: always inline context_switch()

When CONFIG_GCOV is enabled, gcc decides to put context_switch()
out-of-line, which is inconsistent with its normal behavior.

It also causes an objtool warning because __schedule() no longer inlines
context_switch(), so the "STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD(__schedule)"
statement loses its effect.
