I saw this warning with certain GCC versions for several kernel 
cycles, so it's not any recent change that triggers this and it is 
not a regression.

GCC is simply wrong here - i have posted a workaround for that but 
it is too ugly to be merged upstream.

This patch regresses on older GCC versions and doesnt really address 
the GCC false positive warning either, it just removes the inline 
function that triggers the warning.
