[PATCH bpf-next v5 3/6] bpf: Inline bpf_iter_num_next() kfunc

bpf_iter_num_next() runs on every bpf_for() iteration, so inlining it
drops a call from the loop body. R1 points to the iterator; the returned
pointer to s->cur is R1 itself, since s->cur is first.

s->cur and s->end are int, so the kfunc's s->cur + 1 >= s->end is a
signed 32-bit compare and the inlined code needs no sign extension.
