It seems gcc can automatically inline apbt_writel() for us, but
apbt_real isn't inlined. This patch makes them inline to get a trivial
performance improvement: the time __apbt_read_clocksource() spends on
Marvell BG4CT platform:
before the patch 1275240ns on average
after the patch 1263240ns on average
so we get 1% performance improvement.
