KVM/x86: Reduce retpoline performance impact in slot_handle_level_range(), by always inlining iterator helper methods
With retpoline, tight loops of "call this function for every XXX" are
very much pessimised by taking a prediction miss *every* time. This one
is by far the biggest contributor to the guest launch time with retpoline.
By marking the iterator slot_handle_…() functions always_inline, we can
ensure that the indirect function call can be optimised away into a
direct call and it actually generates slightly smaller code because
some of the other conditionals can get optimised away too.
Performance is now pretty close to what we see with nospectre_v2 on
the command line.
