No, don't make this change.  A quick "git grep __initdata" shows that to
the extent it has a consistent placement, it's either right after the
type ("static some_type __initdata varname") or right after the storage
class ("static __initdata some_type varname").  Other similar qualifiers
follow the same pattern.
