The private refcount entry for a buffer is often looked up repeatedly for the same buffer, e.g. to pin and then unpin a buffer. Benchmarking shows that it's worthwhile to have a one-entry cache for that case. With that cache in place, it's worth splitting GetPrivateRefCountEntry() into a small inline portion (for the cache hit case) and an out-of-line helper for the rest. This is helpful for some workloads today, but becomes more important in an upcoming patch that will utilize the private refcount infrastructure to also store whether the buffer is currently locked, as that increases the rate of lookups substantially.
