Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/via-pmu: Fix section mismatch warning

Remove the __init annotation from pmu_init() to avoid the
following warning.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x4739c): Section mismatch in reference from the variable via_pmu_driver to the function .init.text:pmu_init()
The variable via_pmu_driver references
the function __init pmu_init()
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
