To allow the compiler to inline the bpf_local_storage_lookup() fast-

Base on results from './benchs/run_bench_local_storage.sh' this produces
improvements in throughput and latency in the majority of cases:

My understanding is the change in this patch should not affect the hashmap
control result, so the above +/- ~1% change could be mostly noise.

The last one has a big difference. Did you run it a couple of times without the
change and check if the result was consistent ?

Is it understood why the slow down here? The same goes for the "num_maps: 32"
case above but not as bad as here.

The important_hits is very little in this case?

The selftest is trying to catch recursion. The change here cannot test the same
thing because the slowpath will never be hit in the test_progs. I don't have a
better idea for now also.
It has a conflict with the bpf-next tree also. Was the patch created against an
internal tree?
