Subject: [PATCH 05/17] netfilter: conntrack: tell compiler to not inline nf_ct_resolve_clash

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

At this time compiler inlines it, but this code will not be executed
under normal conditions.

Also, no inlining allows to use "nf_ct_resolve_clash%return" perf probe.
