KVM: VMX: Invert the inlining of MSR interception helpers
Invert the inline declarations of the MSR interception helpers between the wrapper, vmx_set_intercept_for_msr(), and the core implementations, vmx_{dis,en}able_intercept_for_msr(). Letting the compiler _not_ inline the implementation reduces KVM's code footprint by ~3k bytes. Back when the helpers were added in commit 904e14f ("KVM: VMX: make MSR bitmaps per-VCPU"), both the wrapper and the implementations were __always_inline because the end code distilled down to a few conditionals and a bit operation. Today, the implementations involve a variety of checks and bit ops in order to support userspace MSR filtering. Furthermore, the vast majority of calls to manipulate MSR interception are not performance sensitive, e.g. vCPU creation and x2APIC toggling. On the other hand, the one path that is performance sensitive, dynamic LBR passthrough, uses the wrappers, i.e. is largely untouched by inverting the inlining. In short, forcing the low level MSR interception code to be inlined no longer makes sense. No functional change intended.
