Subject: [PATCH 07/13] KVM: monolithic: x86: remove __init section prefix from kvm_x86_cpu_has_kvm_support

Adjusts the section prefixes of some KVM x86 code function because
with the monolithic KVM model the section checker can now do a more
accurate static analysis at build time. This also allows to build
without CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=n.

The __init needs to be removed on vmx despite it's only svm calling it
from kvm_x86_hardware_enable which is eventually called by
hardware_enable_nolock() or there's a (potentially false positive)
warning (false positive because this function isn't called in the vmx
case). If this isn't needed the right cleanup isn't to put it in the
__init section, but to drop it. As long as it's defined in vmx as a
kvm_x86 operation, it's expectable that might eventually be called at
runtime while hot plugging new CPUs.
