Subject: [PATCH 2/7] console: fix section mismatch warning in vgacon.c

Fix following section mismatch warning:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x121e62): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__alloc_bootmem (between 'vgacon_startup' and 'vgacon_scrolldelta')

Browsing the code it seems that vgacon_scrollback_startup() is only
called during the init phase so the reference to the .init.text
section is OK.
Teach modpost not to warn using ___init_refok.
