We have a number of aarch64_insn_*() predicates which are used in code which is not instrumentation safe (e.g. alternatives patching, kprobes). Some of those are marked with __kprobes, but most are not, and are implemented out-of-line in insn.c. This patch moves the predicates to insn.h and marks them with __always_inline. This is ensures that they will respect the instrumentation requirements of their caller which they will be inlined into. At the same time, I've formatted each of the functions consistently as a list, to make them easier to read and update in future. Other than preventing unwanted instrumentation, there should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
