inline is defined as notrace, so not needed.

I did that because of surprises when functions marked as inline
suddenly became non inlined and traced, which caused issues with
function tracing (before I finally got recursion protection working).
But even then, I figured, if something is inlined and gcc actually
inlines it, it wont be traced. For consistency, if something is marked
inline, it should not be traced.
