[PATCH 1/8] nvme-pci: Make nvme_pci_npages_prp() __always_inline

The only reason nvme_pci_npages_prp() could be used as a compile-time
known result in BUILD_BUG_ON() is because the compiler was always choosing
to inline the function. Under special circumstances (sanitizer coverage
functions disabled for __init functions on ARCH=um), the compiler decided
to stop inlining it:

   drivers/nvme/host/pci.c: In function 'nvme_init':

Force it to be __always_inline to make sure it is always available for
use with BUILD_BUG_ON().
