Subject: [PATCH] debugobjects: section mismatch cleanup

This patch marks two functions, which only get called at initialization,
as __init.

Here is also interesting, that modpost doesn't catch here the right function
name.

Also does this patch produce 2 false positives for checkpatch.pl.

WARNING: lib/built-in.o(.text+0x585f): Section mismatch in reference
from the function T.506() to the variable .init.data:obj
The function T.506() references
the variable __initdata obj.
This is often because T.506 lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of obj is wrong.
