Subject: [PATCH 1/2] kernel/smp: Explicitly inline cds_lock helpers

From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@...olabs.net>

While the compiler tends to already to it for us (except for
cds_unlock), make it explicit. These helpers mainly deal with
the ->flags, are short-lived  and can be called, for example,
from smp_call_function_many().
