net: skb: prevent the split of kfree_skb_reason() by gcc
Sometimes, gcc will optimize the function by spliting it to two or more functions. In this case, kfree_skb_reason() is splited to kfree_skb_reason and kfree_skb_reason.part.0. However, the function/tracepoint trace_kfree_skb() in it needs the return address of kfree_skb_reason(). This split makes the call chains becomes: kfree_skb_reason() -> kfree_skb_reason.part.0 -> trace_kfree_skb() which makes the return address that passed to trace_kfree_skb() be kfree_skb(). Therefore, introduce '__fix_address', which is the combination of '__noclone' and 'noinline', and apply it to kfree_skb_reason() to prevent to from being splited or made inline. (Is it better to simply apply '__noclone oninline' to kfree_skb_reason? I'm thinking maybe other functions have the same problems) Meanwhile, wrap 'skb_unref()' with 'unlikely()', as the compiler thinks it is likely return true and splits kfree_skb_reason().
