Subject: [PATCH v2 7/7] rust: num: bounded: add missing comment for always
 inlined function

This code is always inlined to avoid a build error if the error path of
`build_assert` cannot be optimized out. Add a comment justifying the
`#[inline(always)]` property to avoid it being taken away by mistake.
