x86/cfi: Add __init_or_module annotations for fineibt
I'm seeing some benign section mismatch warnings with fineibt when building kernels with CONFIG_MODULES=n: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __apply_fineibt+0x1db (section: .text) -> text_poke_early (section: .init.text) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __apply_fineibt+0x473 (section: .text) -> text_poke_early (section: .init.text) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __apply_fineibt+0x57c (section: .text) -> text_poke_early (section: .init.text) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __apply_fineibt+0x6d9 (section: .text) -> text_poke_early (section: .init.text) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __apply_fineibt+0xb57 (section: .text) -> text_poke_early (section: .init.text) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __apply_fineibt+0xb81 (section: .text) -> text_poke_early (section: .init.text) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __apply_fineibt+0xd00 (section: .text) -> poison_endbr (section: .init.text) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __apply_fineibt+0xdd3 (section: .text) -> text_poke_early (section: .init.text) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __apply_fineibt+0xe58 (section: .text) -> text_poke_early (section: .init.text) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __apply_fineibt+0xe85 (section: .text) -> text_poke_early (section: .init.text) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: apply_fineibt+0x8 (section: .text.unlikely.) -> __apply_fineibt (section: .init.text) Add the missing __init_or_module section annotations to fix the warnings, and also free up a tiny bit of memory after boot.
