Subject: [PATCH] firmware: dmi: Mark dmi_memdev_populated_nr __initdata

Static variable dmi_memdev_populated_nr is only used in __init
functions, so it can be marked __initdata.

I could also squash this change in the commit which introduced
dmi_memdev_populated_nr, as it's not upstream yet, if Heiner is OK with
it.
