Subject: [PATCH] x86/alternative: move apply_relocation() out of init section

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

This function is now called from a few places that are no __init_or_module,
resulting a link time warning:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: patch_dest+0x8a (section: .text) -> apply_relocation (section: .init.text)

Remove the annotation here.

Fixes: 17bce3b2ae2d ("x86/callthunks: Handle %rip-relative relocations in call thunk template")
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

Not entire sure about this one, it does address the warning, but it
might be possible to find and change all the callers instead if they
fit the __init_or_module pattern.
