This seems OK to me - when using inline clone we really look for a body
of its master, so that seems OK.

We do some work on removing unnecesary master clone when function is
fully inlined and I guess in that case you lose the order info.
One option would be to copy order into all inline clones (it does not
have very good meaning there) or do that when reshaping the tree.
This is done in cgraph_node::remove at the place clone_of is
manipulated.
This is probably bit cleaner.
