[PATCH] arm64: prohibit probing on arch_kunwind_consume_entry()

Make arch_kunwind_consume_entry() as __always_inline otherwise the
compiler might not inline it and allow attaching probes to it.

Without this, just probing arch_kunwind_consume_entry() via
<tracefs>/kprobe_events will crash the kernel on arm64.

The crash can be reproduced using the following compiler and kernel
combination:
clang version 19.0.0git (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git d68d29516102252f6bf6dc23fb22cef144ca1cb3)
commit 87adedeba51a ("Merge tag 'net-6.8-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net")

 [root at localhost ~]# echo 'p arch_kunwind_consume_entry' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
 [root at localhost ~]# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable
