Apparently despite it being marked inline, the compiler
may not inline __down_read_common() which makes it difficult
to identify the cause of lock contention, as the blocked
function in traceevents will always be listed as
__down_read_common().

So this patch adds __always_inline annotation to the common
function (as well as the inlined helper callers) to force it to
be inlined so the blocking function will be listed (via Wchan)
in traceevents.

v2: Reworked to use __always_inline instead of __sched as
    suggested by Waiman Long

v3: Add __always_inline annotations to currently inlined users
    of __down_read_common() to avoid the compiler later doing the
    same thing there. (Suggested by Peter).
