I think putting __initdata_memlock won't help here, because there should be
nothing wrong with __meminit function accessing __meminitdata data.

My guesstimate would be that the compiler decided not to inline this and
still dropped section attribute because of 'inline'.

If this is the case we I think we should 

	s/inline __init_memblock/__always_inline/
