Subject: [PATCH] seqlock: mark raw_read_seqcount and read_seqcount_retry as __always_inline

If CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is enabled function sched_clock() in
kernel/time/sched_clock.c is marked as notrace. However, functions
raw_read_seqcount and read_seqcount_retry are marked as inline. If
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is set that will make the two functions
tracable which they shouldn't.

Rework so that functions raw_read_seqcount and read_seqcount_retry are
marked with __always_inline so they will be inlined even if
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is turned on.
