[net-next PATCH 3/4] net: avoid false perf interpretations in frag code

[Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>]

The compiler make us misinterpret performance issues in the frag code,
because its auto inlining functions.  Lets instead do explicit
inlining to make this situation obvious to the programmer.

The function inet_frag_find() get the perf blame, because auto
inlining of the functions inet_frag_create(), inet_frag_alloc() and
inet_frag_intern().

My solution is to explicit inline inet_frag_alloc() and
inet_frag_intern(), but explicitly "noinline" inet_frag_create(),
in-order to make it explicit to the performance engineer, that
creation phase is a bottleneck. Then, when reading the code the
programmer should notice the inline, and see the bottleneck is really
located in inet_frag_intern().
