xarray: inline xas_descend to improve performance
The commit 63b1898 ("XArray: Disallow sibling entries of nodes")
modified the xas_descend function in such a way that it was no longer
being compiled as an inline function, because it increased the size of
xas_descend(), and the compiler no longer optimizes it as inline. This
had a negative impact on performance, xas_descend is called frequently to
traverse downwards in the xarray tree, making it a hot function.
Inlining xas_descend has been shown to significantly improve performance
by approximately 4.95% in the iozone write test.

This patch introduces inlining to the xas_descend function. While this
change increases the size of lib/xarray.o, the performance gains in
critical workloads make this an acceptable trade-off.
