Un-inlining rwsem_down_failed_common() (two callsites) reduced
lib/rwsem.o on my Athlon, gcc 4.1.2 from 5935 to 5480 Bytes (455 Bytes saved).
I thus guess that reduced icache footprint (and better function caching)
is worth more than any function call overhead.
Compile-tested and run-tested on 2.6.18-rc4-mm3.
