Subject: [PATCH 4.19 095/149] MIPS: include: Mark __xchg as __always_inline

From: Thomas Bogendoerfer <tbogendoerfer@...e.de>

[ Upstream commit 46f1619500d022501a4f0389f9f4c349ab46bb86 ]

Commit ac7c3e4ff401 ("compiler: enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING
forcibly") allows compiler to uninline functions marked as 'inline'.
In cace of __xchg this would cause to reference function
__xchg_called_with_bad_pointer, which is an error case
for catching bugs and will not happen for correct code, if
__xchg is inlined.
