Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Unify __phys_addr_symbol()

There are two implementations on 64-bit, depending on
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL, but they differ only regarding the presence of
VIRTUAL_BUG_ON, which is already ifdef'd on CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL.

To avoid adding a function call on non-LTO non-DEBUG_VIRTUAL builds,
move the function into the header. (Note the function is already only
used on 64-bit).

Note: I started to unify __phys_addr() too since at first glance it also
seems to have the same unnecessary duplication. But actually for that
one there's code that needs to skip the VIRTUAL_BUG_ON() even when
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL (via __pa_nodebug()).

I've run KUnit on x86_64 with DEBUG_VIRTUAL on and off.
