Subject: [PATCH] rust: file: optimize rust symbol generation for FileDescriptorReservation

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'.*FileDescriptorReservation | rustfilt
ffff8000805b6ef0 T <kernel::fs::file::FileDescriptorReservation>
						::fd_install
ffff8000805b6e60 T <kernel::fs::file::FileDescriptorReservation>
						::get_unused_fd_flags
ffff8000805b6f08 T <kernel::fs::file::FileDescriptorReservation
					 as core::ops::drop::Drop>::drop

These Rust symbols are trivial wrappers around the C functions
fd_install, put_unused_fd and put_task_struct.It
doesn't make sense to go through a trivial wrapper for these
functions, so mark them inline.

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