It used to be inline b4 (hi, Konstantin!) and then was converted to be like
this intentionally :/

See 4f6923fbb352 ("mm: make should_failslab always available for fault
injection")

And now also kernel/bpf/verifier.c contains:
BTF_ID(func, should_failslab)

I think either your or Andrew's version will break this BTF_ID thing, at the
very least.

But I do strongly agree that putting unconditionally a non-inline call into
slab allocator fastpath sucks. Can we make it so that bpf can only do these
overrides when CONFIG_FAILSLAB is enabled?
I don't know, perhaps putting this BTF_ID() in #ifdef as well, or providing
a dummy that is always available (so that nothing breaks), but doesn't
actually affect slab_pre_alloc_hook() unless CONFIG_FAILSLAB has been enabled?
