Subject: [PATCH 09/13] ARM: mark cmpxchg and xchg __always_inline for gcc-4.3

With older compiler versions like gcc-4.3 and CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING,
I run into link errors:

kernel/task_work.o: In function `__cmpxchg':
task_work.c:(.text+0x8c): undefined reference to `__bad_cmpxchg'
kernel/kthread.o: In function `__xchg':
kthread.c:(.text+0x7bc): undefined reference to `__bad_xchg'

This marks the functions in question as __always_inline to force
inlining.
