cpumask: Switch from inline to __always_inline

On recent (v6.6+) builds with Clang (based on Clang 18.0.0) and certain
configurations [0], I'm finding that (lack of) inlining decisions may
lead to section mismatch warnings like the following:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference:
  cpumask_andnot (section: .text) ->
  cpuhp_bringup_cpus_parallel.tmp_mask (section: .init.data) ERROR:
  modpost: Section mismatches detected.

or more confusingly:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference:
  cpumask_andnot+0x5f (section: .text) -> efi_systab_phys (section:
  .init.data)

The first warning makes a little sense, because
cpuhp_bringup_cpus_parallel() (an __init function) calls
cpumask_andnot() on tmp_mask (an __initdata symbol). If the compiler
doesn't inline cpumask_andnot(), this may appear like a mismatch.

The second warning makes less sense, but might be because efi_systab_phys
and cpuhp_bringup_cpus_parallel.tmp_mask are laid out near each other,
and the latter isn't a proper C symbol definition.

In any case, it seems a reasonable solution to suggest more strongly to
the compiler that these cpumask macros *must* be inlined, as 'inline' is
just a recommendation.

This change has been previously proposed in the past as:

  Subject: [PATCH 1/3] bitmap: switch from inline to __always_inline
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221027043810.350460-2-yury.norov@gmail.com/

But the change has been split up, to separately justify the cpumask
changes (which drive my work) and the bitmap/const optimizations (that
Yury separately proposed for other reasons). This ends up as somewhere
between a "rebase" and "rewrite" -- I had to rewrite most of the patch.

According to bloat-o-meter, vmlinux decreases minimally in size (-0.00%
to -0.01%, depending on the version of GCC or Clang and .config in
question) with this series of changes:
