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.

Thanks for reviews! I think all interested parties have replied, so I am integrating before 24 hours expire.
