    With reference to latest discussions on linux-kernel with respect to
    inline here is a patch for tipc to remove all inlines as used in
    the .c files. See also chapter 14 in Documentation/CodingStyle.
    
    Before:
       text        data     bss     dec     hex filename
     102990        5292    1752  110034   1add2 tipc.o
    
    Now:
       text        data     bss     dec     hex filename
     101190        5292    1752  108234   1a6ca tipc.o
    
    This is a nice text size reduction which will improve icache usage.
    In some cases bigger (> 4 lines) functions where declared inline
    and used in many places, they are most probarly no longer inlined by gcc
    resulting in the size reduction.
    There are several one liners that no longer are declared inline, but gcc
    should inline these just fine without the inline hint.
    
    With this patch applied one warning is added about an unused static
    function - that was hidded by utilising inline before.
    The function in question were kept so this patch is solely a
    inline removal patch.
