Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Revert "block: add __init to blkcg_policy_register"

This reverts commit a2d445d44000

Adding __init to blkcg_policy_register makes it unreliable when
loading cfq at runtime.

(Similar problem to b5097e956a4d "block: add __init to elv_register"
reported by Damien Wyart).

This is the second such revert from you for __init annotations, have you
double checked all the other patches you've sent?

Why would you have marked an inline function as __init in the first place?

I received a bug report for elv_register and after looking at my
recent __init patches I found this one with the same problem.

__init was initially added to mark function in case we remove inline someday as it's only called by __init functions. Problem in this case being it would break external modules.
