If CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y, /proc/slab_allocators shows entries like

 size-512: 5 kzalloc+0xb/0x10
 size-256: 31 kzalloc+0xb/0x10

which are useless for debugging.
Use "__always_inline" rather than "inline" in order to make
/proc/slab_allocators show caller of kzalloc() if caller tracking is enabled.

So who don't we just make these __always_inline and leave it at that?
