Masahiro Yamada 851140ab0d ARM: 8908/1: add __always_inline to functions called from __get_user_check()
KernelCI reports that bcm2835_defconfig is no longer booting since
commit ac7c3e4ff4 ("compiler: enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING
forcibly") (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/26/825).

I also received a regression report from Nicolas Saenz Julienne
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/27/263).

This problem has cropped up on bcm2835_defconfig because it enables
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. The compiler tends to prefer not inlining
functions with -Os. I was able to reproduce it with other boards and
defconfig files by manually enabling CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.

The __get_user_check() specifically uses r0, r1, r2 registers.
So, uaccess_save_and_enable() and uaccess_restore() must be inlined.
Otherwise, those register assignments would be entirely dropped,
according to my analysis of the disassembly.

Prior to commit 9012d01166 ("compiler: allow all arches to enable
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING"), the 'inline' marker was always enough for
inlining functions, except on x86.

Since that commit, all architectures can enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING.
So, __always_inline is now the only guaranteed way of forcible inlining.

I added __always_inline to 4 functions in the call-graph from the
__get_user_check() macro.
