x86: Force inlining of atomic ops



With both gcc 4.7.2 and 4.9.2, sometimes gcc mysteriously
doesn't inline very small functions we expect to be inlined:

$ nm --size-sort vmlinux | grep -iF ' t ' | uniq -c | grep -v '^
*1 ' | sort -rn     473 000000000000000b t spin_unlock_irqrestore
    449 000000000000005f t rcu_read_unlock
    355 0000000000000009 t atomic_inc                <== THIS
    353 000000000000006e t rcu_read_lock
    350 0000000000000075 t rcu_read_lock_sched_held
    291 000000000000000b t spin_unlock
    266 0000000000000019 t arch_local_irq_restore
    215 000000000000000b t spin_lock
    180 0000000000000011 t kzalloc
    165 0000000000000012 t list_add_tail
    161 0000000000000019 t arch_local_save_flags
    153 0000000000000016 t test_and_set_bit
    134 000000000000000b t spin_unlock_irq
    134 0000000000000009 t atomic_dec                <== THIS
    130 000000000000000b t spin_unlock_bh
    122 0000000000000010 t brelse
    120 0000000000000016 t test_and_clear_bit
    120 000000000000000b t spin_lock_irq
    119 000000000000001e t get_dma_ops
    117 0000000000000053 t cpumask_next
    116 0000000000000036 t kref_get
    114 000000000000001a t schedule_work
    106 000000000000000b t spin_lock_bh
    103 0000000000000019 t arch_local_irq_disable
...

Note sizes of marked functions. They are merely 9 bytes long!
Selecting function with 'atomic' in their names:

    355 0000000000000009 t atomic_inc
    134 0000000000000009 t atomic_dec

      2 000000000000001f t __atomic_add_unless.constprop.14
      2 000000000000001f t __atomic_add_unless.constprop.11
      2 000000000000001e t atomic_dec_if_positive
      2 0000000000000014 t atomic_inc_and_test
      2 0000000000000011 t atomic_add_return.constprop.4
      2 0000000000000011 t atomic_add_return.constprop.17
      2 0000000000000011 t atomic_add_return.constprop.16
      2 000000000000000d t atomic_inc.constprop.4
      2 000000000000000c t atomic_cmpxchg

This patch fixes this for x86 atomic ops via
s/inline/__always_inline/. This decreases allyesconfig kernel by
about 25k:

    text     data      bss       dec     hex filename
