locking/rwsem: Add __always_inline annotation to __down_write_common() and inlined callers
Apparently despite it being marked inline, the compiler
may not inline __down_write_common() which makes it difficult
to identify the cause of lock contention, as the wchan of the
blocked function will always be listed as __down_write_common().
So add __always_inline annotation to the common function (as
well as the inlined helper callers) to force it to be inlined
so a more useful blocking function will be listed (via wchan).
This mirrors commit 92cc5d00a431 ("locking/rwsem: Add
__always_inline annotation to __down_read_common() and inlined
callers") which did the same for __down_read_common.
I sort of worry that I'm playing wack-a-mole here, and talking
with compiler people, they tell me inline means nothing, which
makes me want to cry a little. So I'm wondering if we need to
replace all the inlines with __always_inline, or remove them
because either we mean something by it, or not.
