Subject: [PATCH v2] RISC-V: fix sifive and thead section mismatches in errata

When CONFIG_MODULES is set, __init_or_module becomes <empty>, but when
CONFIG_MODULES is not set, __init_or_module becomes __init.
In the latter case, it causes section mismatch warnings:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: riscv_fill_cpu_mfr_info (section: .text) -> sifive_errata_patch_func (section: .init.text)
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: riscv_fill_cpu_mfr_info (section: .text) -> thead_errata_patch_func (section: .init.text)

Thanks, Randy. I'm confused at how I didn't see that when I made the
original fix. I feel like repro of these section mismatch errors
depend on some other factor I'm not understanding. In any case:

Perhaps you had a cut-down config that did not enable either of the
relevant ARCH_ options to get those errata compiled?

It was weird, my original "fix" (the one listed in this Fixes tag) was
needed because while the hwprobe series was clean on Palmer's branch,
it generated a "section mismatch" on linux-next. As noted here, it was
only with !CONFIG_MODULES, so I explicitly remember generating that
config and checking it on linux-next to generate this "fix", and it
came out clean. It's like the robots are getting smarter.

I observed the problem in 8 out of 20 randconfig builds,
using linux-next 20230427.

Ohh man, that's a pretty bad config to try use (if that's your default)
for build testing stuff. The k210_mmu defconfig doesn't enable anything
other than SOC_CANAAN.
I could reproduce Randy's issue on defconfig w/ CONFIG_MODULES disabled.

That's the one that caught me before, so I remembered it as being
"different". I'll try what you describe above next time I'm hunting
for section mismatches.

By nature of being nommu with lots of stuff disabled, it is a good niche
config to test - the nommu stuff mostly gets forgotten about..
On the other hand, it does skip the errata handling stuff which is what
caught us out here.
