Flag failure functions as inline(never)

The failure functions are generic, meaning they're candidates for getting
inlined across crates. This has been happening, leading to monstrosities like
that found in #11549. I have verified that the codegen is *much* better now that
we're not inlining the failure path (the slow path).
