[PATCH] arm64: entry: Clean out some indirection

[Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>]

The conversion to generic IRQ entry left some functions
in the EL1 (kernel) IRQ entry path very shallow, so drop
the __inner_functions() where appropriate, saving some
time and stack.

This is not a fix but an optimization.
