When build the kernel using the llvm-18.1.3-rust-1.85.0-x86_64
with ARCH=arm64, the following symbols are generated:

$nm vmlinux | grep ' _R'.*CondVar | rustfilt
... T <kernel::sync::condvar::CondVar>::notify_all
... T <kernel::sync::condvar::CondVar>::notify_one
... T <kernel::sync::condvar::CondVar>::notify_sync
... T <kernel::sync::condvar::CondVar>::new::{closure#0}::{closure#0}::panic_cold_explicit
... T <kernel::sync::condvar::CondVar>::new::{closure#0}::{closure#0}::panic_cold_explicit
... T <kernel::sync::poll::PollCondVar>::new::{closure#0}::{closure#0}::panic_cold_explicit
... T <kernel::sync::poll::PollCondVar as core::ops::drop::Drop>::drop

These notify* symbols are trivial wrappers around the C functions
__wake_up and __wake_up_sync.
It doesn't make sense to go through a trivial wrapper for these
functions, so mark them inline.
You don't need to send a new version just for this, but please format
the paragraphs better in the future. For example:

Thanks, I'll remember that, try to fill one line first and don't start a new one easily.
