mm, rmap: handle anon_vma_prepare() common case inline
anon_vma_prepare() is mostly a large "if (unlikely(...))" block, as the
expected common case is that an anon_vma already exists. We could turn
the condition around and return 0, but it also makes sense to do it
inline and avoid a call for the common case.
Bloat-o-meter naturally shows that inlining the check has some code size
costs:
add/remove: 1/1 grow/shrink: 4/0 up/down: 475/-373 (102)
function old new delta
__anon_vma_prepare - 359 +359
handle_mm_fault 2744 2796 +52
hugetlb_cow 1146 1170 +24
hugetlb_fault 2123 2145 +22
wp_page_copy 1469 1487 +18
anon_vma_prepare 373 - -373
Checking the asm however confirms that the hot paths now avoid a call,
which is moved away.
