i386: Fix section mismatches for init code with !HOTPLUG_CPU

Commit 0e83815be719d3391bf5ea24b7fe696c07dbd417 changed the
section the initial_code variable gets allocated in, in an
attempt to address a section conflict warning. This, however
created a new section conflict when building without
HOTPLUG_CPU. The apparently only (reasonable) way to address
this is to always use __REFDATA.

Once at it, also fix a second section mismatch when not using
HOTPLUG_CPU.
