Subject: [PATCH -mm] tracing: Fix section mismatch in trace_hw_branches.c

  Impact: Fix section mismatch

The function bts_trace_init() references a variable
bts_hotcpu_notifier which is marked
as __cpuinitdata. Thus causes section mismatch. This patch fixes it.

  LD      kernel/trace/built-in.o
WARNING: kernel/trace/built-in.o(.text+0xc90c): Section mismatch in
reference from the function bts_trace_init() to the variable
.cpuinit.data:bts_hotcpu_notifier
The function bts_trace_init() references
the variable __cpuinitdata bts_hotcpu_notifier.
This is often because bts_trace_init lacks a __cpuinitdata
annotation or the annotation of bts_hotcpu_notifier is wrong.

WARNING: kernel/trace/built-in.o(.text+0xc92a): Section mismatch in
reference from the function bts_trace_reset() to the variable
.cpuinit.data:bts_hotcpu_notifier
The function bts_trace_reset() references
the variable __cpuinitdata bts_hotcpu_notifier.
This is often because bts_trace_reset lacks a __cpuinitdata
annotation or the annotation of bts_hotcpu_notifier is wrong.

Thanks.
