ext4: make ext4_has_inline_data() as a inline function

Now ext4_has_inline_data() is used in wide spread codepaths.  So we need
to make it as a inline function to avoid burning some CPU cycles.

Change in text size:

         text     data      bss     dec     hex filename
before: 326110    19258    5528  350896   55ab0 fs/ext4/ext4.o
after:  326227    19258    5528  351013   55b25 fs/ext4/ext4.o

I use the following script to measure the CPU usage.

  #!/bin/bash

  shm_base='/dev/shm'
  img=${shm_base}/ext4-img
  mnt=/mnt/loop

  e2fsprgs_base=$HOME/e2fsprogs
  mkfs=${e2fsprgs_base}/misc/mke2fs
  fsck=${e2fsprgs_base}/e2fsck/e2fsck

  sudo umount $mnt
  dd if=/dev/zero of=$img bs=4k count=3145728
  ${mkfs} -t ext4 -O inline_data -F $img
  sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop $img $mnt

  # start testing...
  testdir="${mnt}/testdir"
  mkdir $testdir
  cd $testdir

  echo "start testing..."
  for ((cnt=0;cnt<100;cnt++)); do

  for ((i=0;i<5;i++)); do
  	for ((j=0;j<5;j++)); do
  		for ((k=0;k<5;k++)); do
  			for ((l=0;l<5;l++)); do
  				mkdir -p $i/$j/$k/$l
  				echo "$i-$j-$k-$l" > $i/$j/$k/$l/testfile
  			done
  		done
  	done
  done

  ls -R $testdir > /dev/null
  rm -rf $testdir/*

  done

The result of `perf top -G -U` is as below.

vanilla:
 13.92%  [ext4]  [k] ext4_do_update_inode
  9.36%  [ext4]  [k] __ext4_get_inode_loc
  4.07%  [ext4]  [k] ftrace_define_fields_ext4_writepages
  3.83%  [ext4]  [k] __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata
  3.42%  [ext4]  [k] ext4_get_inode_flags
  2.71%  [ext4]  [k] ext4_mark_iloc_dirty
  2.46%  [ext4]  [k] ftrace_define_fields_ext4_direct_IO_enter
  2.26%  [ext4]  [k] ext4_get_inode_loc
  2.22%  [ext4]  [k] ext4_has_inline_data
  [...]

After applied the patch, we don't see ext4_has_inline_data() because it
has been inlined and perf couldn't sample it.  Although it doesn't mean
that the CPU cycles can be saved but at least the overhead of function
calls can be eliminated.  So IMHO we'd better inline this function.
