The arch_local_irq_*() wrappers in <asm/irqflags.h> dispatch between two
underlying primitives: the __daif_* path on most systems, and the
__pmr_* path on builds that use GIC PMR-based masking (Pseudo-NMI). The
leaf primitives are already __always_inline, but the wrappers themselves
are plain "static inline".

That is unsafe for noinstr callers: nothing prevents the compiler from
emitting an out-of-line copy of e.g. arch_local_irq_disable(), and an
out-of-line copy can be instrumented (ftrace, kcov, sanitizers), which
breaks the noinstr contract on the entry/idle paths that rely on these
helpers.

x86 hit and fixed exactly this class of bug in commit 7a745be1cc90
("x86/entry: __always_inline irqflags for noinstr").

Force-inline all of the arch_local_irq_*() wrappers so they cannot be
emitted out-of-line:

  - arch_local_irq_enable()
  - arch_local_irq_disable()
  - arch_local_save_flags()
  - arch_irqs_disabled_flags()
  - arch_irqs_disabled()
  - arch_local_irq_save()
  - arch_local_irq_restore()

The primary motivation is noinstr safety. There is a useful side effect
for fleet-wide profiling: when the wrapper is emitted out-of-line,
samples taken inside it during the post-WFI IRQ unmask in
default_idle_call() are attributed to arch_local_irq_enable rather than
default_idle_call(), and the FP-unwinder loses default_idle_call() from
the chain.
