Subject: [PATCH 01/11] ARM: topology: mark init_cpu_topology as __init

The init_cpu_topology function can be put into the __init section
and discarded after boot, because it is only called from
smp_prepare_cpus, which is also marked __init. This was reported
by gcc after Vincent Guittot added the parse_dt_topology function
in 339ca09d7ada "ARM: 7463/1: topology: Update cpu_power according to DT
information".

Without this patch, building kzm9g_defconfig results in:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xb5a0): Section mismatch in reference from the function init_cpu_topology() to the function .init.text:parse_dt_topology()
The function init_cpu_topology() references
the function __init parse_dt_topology().
This is often because init_cpu_topology lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of parse_dt_topology is wrong.
