[PATCH v2 3/3] rust: alloc: make `ReallocFunc::call` inline

From: Gary Guo
Date: Sun Jan 05 2025 - 15:03:50 EST


This function can be called with different function pointers when
different allocator (e.g. Kmalloc, Vmalloc, KVmalloc), however since
this function is not polymorphic, only one instance is generated,
and function pointers are used. Given that this function is called
for any Rust-side allocation/deallocation, performance matters a lot,
so making this function inlineable.

This is discovered when doing helper inlining work, since it's discovered
that even with helpers inlined, rust_helper_ symbols are still present
in final vmlinux binary, and it turns out this function is inhibiting
the inlining, and introducing indirect function calls.
