Sure, like this?

Subject: [PATCH] vsprintf: Inline call to ptr_to_hashval

There is concern that ptr_to_hashval not being inlined can cause performance
issues (unlike before where it was a static branch) with trace_printk being a
hot path for it. Just create an inline version called __ptr_to_hashval(), and
have the actual ptr_to_hashval() call it.
