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:

Thanks for the patch. This indeed could improve performance with inlining.
In Meta, we started to use LTO kernel which already have
bpf_local_storage_lookup() cross-file inlined into
bpf_sk_storage_lookup(), so we won't be able to reap
this benefit.

In the subject, please use tag [PATCH bpf-next] so CI can
pick it up for testing properly.
