Subject: [PATCH] x86: callthunks: fix incorrect init section references

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

The addition of callthunks_translate_call_dest means that
skip_addr() and patch_dest() can no longer be discarded
as part of the __init section freeing:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: callthunks_translate_call_dest.cold (section: .text.unlikely) -> skip_addr (section: .init.text)
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: callthunks_translate_call_dest.cold (section: .text.unlikely) -> patch_dest (section: .init.text)
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: is_callthunk.cold (section: .text.unlikely) -> skip_addr (section: .init.text)
ERROR: modpost: Section mismatches detected.
Set CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=y to allow them.

Fixes: b2e9dfe54be4 ("x86/bpf: Emit call depth accounting if required")
