I think inlining it would still keep __LINE__ and __FILE__ pointing to
this location in the header instead of the location where the call
happens. If we change alloc_inode_sb() to inline we will have to wrap
it with alloc_hook() and call kmem_cache_alloc_lru_noprof() inside it.
Doable but this change seems much simpler.
