arm64: insn: always inline hint generation

All users of aarch64_insn_gen_hint() (e.g. aarch64_insn_gen_nop()) pass
a constant argument and generate a constant value. Some of those users
are noinstr code (e.g. for alternatives patching).

For noinstr code it is necessary to either inline these functions or to
ensure the out-of-line versions are noinstr.

Since in all cases these are generating a constant, make them
__always_inline.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
