      For force inlining, JDK-8076212 uses always_inline attribute to them.
      JDK-8151593 added ALWAYSINLINE macro for force inlining.

      For consistency, and for other compiler support, AllocateHeap() and
      ReallocateHeap() should use ALWAYSINLINE.

      I used ALWAYSINLINE to them, but I got error message as below;

      ------------------------------

      According to GCC manual [1], non-static inline function is always compiled
      on its own in the usual fashion.
      However, we can compile as inline function with "inline" and "always_inline".
      always_inline attribute does not imply inlining [2].
      GCC testcase [3] uses both "inline" and "always_inline" actually.
