[PATCH] mm: ptd_alloc inline and out

It seems odd to me that, whereas pud_alloc and pmd_alloc test inline, only
calling out-of-line __pud_alloc __pmd_alloc if allocation needed,
pte_alloc_map and pte_alloc_kernel are entirely out-of-line.  Though it does
add a little to kernel size, change them to macros testing inline, calling
__pte_alloc or __pte_alloc_kernel to allocate out-of-line.  Mark none of them
as fastcalls, leave that to CONFIG_REGPARM or not.

It also seems more natural for the out-of-line functions to leave the offset
calculation and map to the inline, which has to do it anyway for the common
case.  At least mremap move wants __pte_alloc without _map.

Macros rather than inline functions, certainly to avoid the header file issues
which arise from CONFIG_HIGHPTE needing kmap_types.h, but also in case any
architectures I haven't built would have other such problems.
