On my x86_64 (core-i5 something, with disabled cpufreq) i got following
numbers:
find_next_zero_bit
old     new     __always_inline
20      21      22      
20      21      22
20      22      23
21      21      22
21      21      23
20      21      22
20      21      23
21      22      23
20      22      22
21      21      22

find_next_bit
old     new     __always_inline
19      21      24
19      22      24
19      22      24
19      21      24
20      22      24
19      21      23
19      21      23
20      21      24
19      22      24
19      21      24

I will re-check on another machine. It's really interesting if
__always_inline makes things better for aarch64 and worse for x86_64. It
will be nice if someone will check it on x86_64 too.
