It isn't - there is no change in policy here, just a known issue with
the release. "inline" is (supposed to be) used only if the compiler
supports it. See:
http://marc.info/?l=openssl-users&m=141349050628983&w=2

The code in question was introduced as part of security hardening work
to improve the constant time behaviour of certain sections of code.
