Subject: bufferhead: Force inlining of buffer head flag operations

With both gcc 4.7.2 and 4.9.2, 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,
set_buffer_foo(), clear_buffer_foo() and similar functions get deinlined
about 60 times. Examples of disassembly:

<set_buffer_mapped> (14 copies, 43 calls):
       55                      push   %rbp
       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       f0 80 0f 20             lock orb $0x20,(%rdi)
       5d                      pop    %rbp
       c3                      retq
<buffer_mapped> (3 copies, 34 calls):
       48 8b 07                mov    (%rdi),%rax
       55                      push   %rbp
       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       48 c1 e8 05             shr    $0x5,%rax
       83 e0 01                and    $0x1,%eax
       5d                      pop    %rbp
       c3                      retq
<set_buffer_new> (5 copies, 13 calls):
       55                      push   %rbp
       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       f0 80 0f 40             lock orb $0x40,(%rdi)
       5d                      pop    %rbp
       c3                      retq

This patch fixes this via s/inline/__always_inline/.
This decreases vmlinux by about 3 kbytes.
