Subject: [PATCH] x86/resctrl: Annotate __get_mem_config_intel() as __init

After a recent LLVM change [1] that deduces __cold on functions that
only call cold code (such as __init functions), there is a section
mismatch warning from __get_mem_config_intel(), which got moved to
.text.unlikely. as a result of that optimization:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __get_mem_config_intel+0x77 (section: .text.unlikely.) -> thread_throttle_mode_init (section: .init.text)

Mark __get_mem_config_intel() as __init as well since it is only called
from __init code, which clears up the warning.
