`from_expr` relies on `build_assert` to infer that the passed expression
fits the type's boundaries at build time. That inference can only be
successful its code (and that of `fits_within`, which performs the
check) is inlined, as a dedicated function would need to work with a
variable and cannot verify that property.
While inlining happens as expected in most cases, it is not guaranteed.
In particular, kernel options that optimize for size like
`CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE` can result in `from_expr` not being
inlined.
Add `#[inline(always)]` attributes to both `fits_within` and `from_expr`
to make the compiler inline these functions more aggressively, as it
does not make sense to use them non-inlined anyway.
