Subject: [patch 12/15] x86/tlb: Uninline nmi_uaccess_okay()

cpu_tlbstate is exported because various TLB related functions need access
to it, but cpu_tlbstate is sensitive information which should only be
accessed by well contained kernel functions and not be directly exposed to
modules.

nmi_access_ok() is the last inline function which requires access to
cpu_tlbstate. Move it into the TLB code.

No functional change.
