commit-slab: declare functions "static inline"

This shuts up compiler warnings about unused functions.  No such
warnings are currently triggered, but if someone were to actually
use init_NAME_with_stride() as documented, they would get a warning
about init_NAME() being unused.

While there, write a comment about why the last real declaration of
the variable is without a terminating semicolon, while another
forward declarations have one.
