include/linux/unaligned: force inlining of byteswap 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,
the following functions get deinlined many times.
Examples of disassembly:
<get_unaligned_be16> (24 copies, 108 calls):
       66 8b 07                mov    (%rdi),%ax
       55                      push   %rbp
       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       86 e0                   xchg   %ah,%al
       5d                      pop    %rbp
       c3                      retq
<get_unaligned_be32> (25 copies, 181 calls):
       8b 07                   mov    (%rdi),%eax
       55                      push   %rbp
       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       0f c8                   bswap  %eax
       5d                      pop    %rbp

This patch fixes this via s/inline/__always_inline/.
It only affects arches with efficient unaligned access insns, such as x86.
(arched which lack such ops do not include linux/unaligned/access_ok.h)
Code size decrease after the patch is ~8.5k:
