[ Upstream commit f9dd00de1e53a47763dfad601635d18542c3836d ]

The shared hyp switch header has a number of static functions which
might not be used by all files that include the header, and when unused
they will provoke compiler warnings, e.g.

| In file included from arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/hyp-main.c:8:

Mark these functions as 'inline' to suppress this warning. This
shouldn't result in any functional change.

At the same time, avoid the use of __alias() in the header and alias
kvm_hyp_handle_iabt_low() and kvm_hyp_handle_watchpt_low() to
kvm_hyp_handle_memory_fault() using CPP, matching the style in the rest
of the kernel. For consistency, kvm_hyp_handle_memory_fault() is also
marked as 'inline'.
