Inline local_bh_disable when TRACE_IRQFLAGS

Hi Ingo:

I noticed that local_bh_disable is now always out-of-line. The
change was made when TRACE_IRQFLAGS was added. However, with
TRACE_IRQFLAGS off, local_bh_disable does exactly the same work
as before. In particular, it does pretty much the same as what
preempt_disable does and the latter is always inline.

So I'm wondering if it would be reasonable to make it out-of-line
when TRACE_IRQFLAGS is off. This may make a difference because
the networking stack is a frequent user of local_bh_disable and
local_bh_enable.

Thanks,
