After switching ARM64 to the generic entry code, a syscall_exit_work()
appeared as a profiling hotspot because it is not inlined.
Inlining both syscall_trace_enter() and syscall_exit_work() provides a
performance gain when any of the work items is enabled. With audit enabled
this results in a ~4% performance gain for perf bench basic syscall on
a kunpeng920 system:
| Metric | Baseline | Inlined | Change |
| ---------- | ----------- | ----------- | ------ |
| Total time | 2.353 [sec] | 2.264 [sec] | ↓3.8% |
| usecs/op | 0.235374 | 0.226472 | ↓3.8% |
| ops/sec | 4,248,588 | 4,415,554 | ↑3.9% |
Small gains can be observed on x86 as well, though the generated code
optimizes for the work case, which is counterproductive for high
performance scenarios where such entry/exit work is usually avoided.
Avoid this by marking the work check in syscall_enter_from_user_mode_work()
unlikely, which is what the corresponding check in the exit path does
already.
