Clang (13) uninlines __next_node() which emits the following warning
due to that this function is used in init code (amd_numa_init(),
sched_init_numa() etc.):

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x927ee): Section mismatch
in reference from the function __next_node() to the variable
.init.data:numa_nodes_parsed
The function __next_node() references
the variable __initdata numa_nodes_parsed.
This is often because __next_node lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of numa_nodes_parsed is wrong.

Mark __next_node() as __always_inline() so it won't get uninlined.

So it's both win-win in terms of resolving section mismatch and
saving some text size (-1.7 Kb is quite nice).
