Commit 6c730bfc894f ("modpost: handle -ffunction-sections") added
".text.*" to the OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS macro to fix certain section
mismatch warnings. Unfortunately, this makes it impossible for modpost
to warn about section mismatches with LTO, which implies
'-ffunction-sections', as all functions are put in their own
'.text.<func_name>' sections, which may still reference functions in
sections they are not supposed to, such as __init.
Fix this by moving ".text.*" into TEXT_SECTIONS, so that configurations
with '-ffunction-sections' will see warnings about mismatched sections.
