Subject[PATCH v2] numa: Mark __node_set as __always_inline
Date
It is posible for some compilers to decide that __node_set does not need
to be made turned into an inline function. When the compiler does this
on an __init function calling it on __initdata we get a section mismatch
warning now. Use __always_inline to ensure that we will be inlined.

Changes in v2:
- As per KOSAKI Motohiro, add a comment as well about why we need
__always_inline to the header.
