[PATCH v2] riscv: KGDB: Do not inline arch_kgdb_breakpoint()

The arch_kgdb_breakpoint() function defines the kgdb_compiled_break
symbol using inline assembly.

There's a potential issue where the compiler might inline
arch_kgdb_breakpoint(), which would then define the kgdb_breakinst
symbol multiple times, leading to fail to link vmlinux.o.

This isn't merely a potential compilation problem. The intent here
is to determine the global symbol address of kgdb_compiled_break,
and if this function is inlined multiple times, it would logically
be a grave error.
