Subject: [PATCH 10/13] asm-generic: mark cmpxchg as __always_inline for gcc-4.3

With CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING and older compilers, we can get
a link error such as

kernel/task_work.o: In function `__cmpxchg_local_generic':
task_work.c:(.text+0x14c): undefined reference to `wrong_size_cmpxchg'
kernel/locking/rtmutex.o: In function `__cmpxchg_local_generic':
rtmutex.c:(.text+0x5ec): undefined reference to `wrong_size_cmpxchg'
kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o: In function `__cmpxchg_local_generic':

Marking the functions in question as __always_inline avoids that
possibility.
