Apparently despite it being marked inline, the compiler may not inline __down_read_common() which makes it difficult to identify the cause of lock contention, as the blocked function in traceevents will always be listed as __down_read_common(). So this patch adds __always_inline annotation to the common function (as well as the inlined helper callers) to force it to be inlined so the blocking function will be listed (via Wchan) in traceevents.
