Subject: [PATCH 1/2] alpha: use .data.init_task instead of .data.init_thread.

alpha is the only architecture that uses the section name
.data.init_thread instead of .data.init_task.  So convert alpha to use
.data.init_task like everything else.

.data.init_task does not need a separate output section; this change
also moves it into the .data output section.
