KVM: VMX: Always inline to_vmx() and to_kvm_vmx()

Browse source

Tag to_vmx() and to_kvm_vmx() __always_inline as they both just reflect
the passed in pointer (the embedded struct is the first field in the
container), and drop the @vmx param from vmx_vcpu_enter_exit(), which
likely existed purely to make noinstr validation happy.

Amusingly, when the compiler decides to not inline the helpers, e.g. for
KASAN builds, to_vmx() and to_kvm_vmx() may end up pointing at the same
symbol, which generates very confusing objtool warnings.  E.g. the use of
to_vmx() in a future patch led to objtool complaining about to_kvm_vmx(),
and only once all use of to_kvm_vmx() was commented out did to_vmx() pop
up in the obj tool report.

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: vmx_vcpu_enter_exit+0x160: call to to_kvm_vmx()
                               leaves .noinstr.text section
