Subject: [PATCH v3 1/5] ACPI: change __init to __ref for early_acpi_os_unmap_memory()

early_acpi_os_unmap_memory() is marked as __init because it calls
__acpi_unmap_table(), but only when acpi_gbl_permanent_mmap is not set.

acpi_gbl_permanent_mmap is set in __init acpi_early_init()
so it is safe to call early_acpi_os_unmap_memory() from anywhere

We need this function to be non-__init because we need access to
some tables at unpredictable time--it may be before or after
acpi_gbl_permanent_mmap is set.  For example, SPCR (Serial Port Console
Redirection) table is needed each time a new console is registered.
It can be quite early (console_initcall) or when a module is inserted.
When this table accessed before acpi_gbl_permanent_mmap is set,
the pointer should be unmapped.  This is exactly what this function
does.
