Optimize RcInnerPtr::inc_strong()/inc_weak() instruction count

Inspired by this internals thread: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/rc-optimization-on-64-bit-targets/16362

[The generated assembly is a bit smaller](https://rust.godbolt.org/z/TeTnf6144) and is a more efficient usage of the CPU's instruction cache. `unlikely` doesn't impact any of the small artificial tests I've done, but I've included it in case it might help more complex scenarios when this is inlined.
