ext4: re-inline ext4_rec_len_(to|from)_disk functions

commit 3d0518f4, "ext4: New rec_len encoding for very
large blocksizes" made several changes to this path, but from
a perf perspective, un-inlining ext4_rec_len_from_disk() seems
most significant.  This function is called from ext4_check_dir_entry(),
which on a file-creation workload is called extremely often.

I tested this with bonnie:

# bonnie++ -u root -s 0 -f -x 200 -d /mnt/test -n 32

(this does 200 iterations) and got this for the file creations:

ext4 stock:   Average =  21206.8 files/s
ext4 inlined: Average =  22346.7 files/s  (+5%)
