x86/asm: Force inlining of cpu_relax()

On x86, cpu_relax() simply calls rep_nop(), which generates one
instruction, PAUSE (aka REP NOP).

With this config:

  http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config_OPTIMIZE_INLINING_and_Os

gcc-4.7.2 does not always inline rep_nop(): it generates several
copies of this:

  <rep_nop> (16 copies, 194 calls):
       55                      push   %rbp
       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       f3 90                   pause
       5d                      pop    %rbp
       c3                      retq

See: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66122

This patch fixes this via s/inline/__always_inline/
on rep_nop() and cpu_relax().

( Forcing inlining only on rep_nop() causes GCC to
  deinline cpu_relax(), with almost no change in generated code).
