[PATCH] cred: rust: mark Credential methods inline

[PATCH] cred: rust: mark Credential methods inline

[Alice Ryhl]

I'm seeing Binder generating calls to methods on Credential such as
get_secid, inc_ref, and dec_ref without inlining. Since these methods
are really simple wrappers around C functions, mark the methods to
inline to avoid generating these useless small functions.

I would suggest using impersonal facts to explain why the changes are
needed. For example, you can show a compile result (with the version of
rust provided), which has the function callsites, in this way, it'll be
easy for people to verify this on their own. Thanks!

With this changed, feel free to add
