Subject: [PATCH 1/2] modpost: don't add warnings for LTO-generated symbols

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x12e0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable pfkey_net_ops.lto_priv.2992 to the function .init.text:pfkey_net_init.lto_priv.2977()
The variable pfkey_net_ops.lto_priv.2992 references
the function __init pfkey_net_init.lto_priv.2977()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console
