This is very visible with smaller clones, for example. We should move GC state checks to appropriate .inline.hpp-s. Actually, I think these were inlineable before [JDK-8344055](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8344055), so it is a minor regression in JDK 25.

It looks good to me. I did test in gitfarm pipeline few months ago for the same change, but left it behind since I didn't see significant difference in the result, but it is still good to inline these two functions.
