x86: bug.h: use asm_inline in _BUG_FLAGS definitions
This helps preventing a BUG* or WARN* in some static inline from preventing that (or one of its callers) being inlined, so should allow gcc to make better informed inlining decisions. For example, with gcc 9.2, tcp_fastopen_no_cookie() vanishes from net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen.o. It does not itself have any BUG or WARN, but it calls dst_metric() which has a WARN_ON_ONCE - and despite that WARN_ON_ONCE vanishing since the condition is compile-time false, dst_metric() is apparently sufficiently "large" that when it gets inlined into tcp_fastopen_no_cookie(), the latter becomes too large for inlining. Overall, if one asks size(1), .text decreases a little and .data increases by about the same amount (x86-64 defconfig) $ size vmlinux.{before,after} text data bss dec hex filename 19709726 5202600 1630280 26542606 195020e vmlinux.before 19709330 5203068 1630280 26542678 1950256 vmlinux.after while bloat-o-meter says add/remove: 10/28 grow/shrink: 103/51 up/down: 3669/-2854 (815) ...
