cpuidle, nospec: Make mds_idle_clear_cpu_buffers() noinstr clean

objtool found that the mds_idle_clear_cpu_buffers() method got
uninlined by the compiler where it called out into instrumentation:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: mwait_idle+0x47: call to mds_idle_clear_cpu_buffers() leaves .noinstr.text section
  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: acpi_processor_ffh_cstate_enter+0xa2: call to mds_idle_clear_cpu_buffers() leaves .noinstr.text section
  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: intel_idle+0x91: call to mds_idle_clear_cpu_buffers() leaves .noinstr.text section
  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: intel_idle_s2idle+0x8c: call to mds_idle_clear_cpu_buffers() leaves .noinstr.text section
  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: intel_idle_irq+0xaa: call to mds_idle_clear_cpu_buffers() leaves .noinstr.text section

Solve this by marking mds_idle_clear_cpu_buffers() as __always_inline.
