direct-io: inline the complete submission path
Add inlines to all the submission path functions. While this increases code size it also gives gcc a lot of optimization opportunities in this critical hotpath. In particular -- together with some other changes -- this allows gcc to get rid of the unnecessary clearing of sdio at the beginning and optimize the messy parameter passing. Any non inlining of a function which takes a sdio parameter would break this optimization because they cannot be done if the address of a structure is taken. Note that benefits are only seen with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING and CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE both set to off. This gives about 2.2% improvement on a large database benchmark with a high IOPS rate.
