Subject: [PATCH] rust: sync: optimize Rust symbol generation for PollCondVar

From: Kunwu Chan <kunwu.chan@...mail.com>

When build the kernel using the llvm-18.1.3-rust-1.85.0-x86_64
with ARCH=arm64, the following symbols are generated:

$nm vmlinux | grep ' _R'.*PollCondVar  | rustfilt
ffff800080019e90 T <kernel::sync::poll::PollCondVar>
			::new::{closure#0}::{closure#0}::panic_cold_explicit
ffff8000805b8e04 T <kernel::sync::poll::PollCondVar
			as kernel::init::PinnedDrop>::drop
ffff8000805b8e04 T <kernel::sync::poll::PollCondVar
			as core::ops::drop::Drop>::drop

This Rust symbol
(<kernel::sync::poll::PollCondVar as kernel::init::PinnedDrop>::drop)
is trivial wrappers around the C functions __wake_up_pollfree
and synchronize_rcu. It doesn't make sense to go through a trivial
wrapper for its functions,so mark them inline.

After doing so, the above symbol will not in output.
