x86/ptrace: Always inline v8086_mode() for instrumentation

Browse Source 
Instrumentation glue like KASAN causes the following warning:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: mce_gather_info()+0x5f: call to v8086_mode.constprop.0() leaves .noinstr.text section

due to gcc creating a function call for that oneliner. Force-inline it
and even save some vmlinux bytes (.config is close to an allmodconfig):

     text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

  209431519       208257615       34411048        452100182       1af28056	vmlinux.after
