Auto merge of #26024 - Aatch:inline-as_bytes, r=Gankro

This wasn't marked inline, so wasn't being inlined cross-crate. It's
actually a no-op function, since it's a wrapper around `mem::transmute`.
Marking it inline means that programs calling it can see that it's a
no-op and act accordingly during optimisation.
