[RFC][PATCH] tree-wide: Remove __inline__ and __inline usage

[Peter Zijlstra]

Hi Linus,

A proposed GCC asm extention:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-10/msg01931.html

allows adding the "inline" keyword to 'asm ("")' statements. The
problem is that we're possibly redefining "inline" to
"inline __attribute__((__always_inline__))" which makes the proposed:

  asm volatile inline ("")

not compile.

However, since we've been depricating the use of the alternative
inline keywords: "__inline__" and "__inline", and there are only a
'few' uses left of them in the tree:

  $ git grep -e "\<__inline__\>" | wc -l
  487
  $ git grep -e "\<__inline\>" | wc -l
  56
  $ git grep -e "\<inline\>" | wc -l
  69957

let's finish them off now.

Therefore I'm proposing to run:

  git grep -l "\<__inline\(\|__\)\>" | while read file
  do
	sed -i -e 's/\<__inline\(\|__\)\>/inline/g' $file
  done

On your current tree, and apply the below fixup patch on top of that
result.

This would then allow us to do something like (+- GCC feature tests):

  #define asm_volatile(stmt...) asm volatile __inline__(stmt)

once that GCC patch lands.
