include/asm-generic/atomic-long.h: force inlining of some atomic_long operations



Sometimes gcc mysteriously doesn't inline
very small functions we expect to be inlined. See

    https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66122

With this .config:
http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config_OPTIMIZE_INLINING_and_Os,
atomic_long_inc(), atomic_long_dec() and atomic_long_add()
functions get deinlined about 40 times. Examples of disassembly:

<atomic_long_inc> (21 copies, 147 calls):
       55                      push   %rbp
       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       f0 48 ff 07             lock incq (%rdi)
       5d                      pop    %rbp
       c3                      retq

<atomic_long_dec> (4 copies, 14 calls) is similar to inc.

<atomic_long_add> (11 copies, 41 calls):
       55                      push   %rbp
       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       f0 48 01 3e             lock add %rdi,(%rsi)
       5d                      pop    %rbp
       c3                      retq

This patch fixes this via s/inline/__always_inline/.
Code size decrease after the patch is ~1.3k:
