x86: Work around compiler code generation bug with -Os
Some versions of gcc generate incorrect code for the inet_check_attr() function, apparently due to a totally bogus index -> pointer comparison transformation. At least "gcc version 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5)" from FC4 is affected, possibly others too. This changes the function subtly so that the buggy gcc transformation doesn't trigger.
