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
       c3                      retq

<get_unaligned_be64> (23 copies, 94 calls):
       48 8b 07                mov    (%rdi),%rax
       55                      push   %rbp
       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       48 0f c8                bswap  %rax
       5d                      pop    %rbp
       c3                      retq

<put_unaligned_be16> (2 copies, 11 calls):
       89 f8                   mov    %edi,%eax
       55                      push   %rbp
       c1 ef 08                shr    $0x8,%edi
       c1 e0 08                shl    $0x8,%eax
       09 c7                   or     %eax,%edi
       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       66 89 3e                mov    %di,(%rsi)

<put_unaligned_be32> (8 copies, 43 calls):
       55                      push   %rbp
       0f cf                   bswap  %edi
       89 3e                   mov    %edi,(%rsi)
       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       5d                      pop    %rbp
       c3                      retq

<put_unaligned_be64> (26 copies, 157 calls):
       55                      push   %rbp
       48 0f cf                bswap  %rdi
       48 89 3e                mov    %rdi,(%rsi)
       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       5d                      pop    %rbp
       c3                      retq

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:

    text     data      bss       dec     hex filename
