Subject: [PATCH] mm: Fix section mismatch in memcontrol.c

Impact: Fix section mismatch warning.

The annotation for __init in enable_swap_cgroup() and __initdata for
really_do_swap_account produces the following warning. Which is not
right, since this function is called from non-init section. This patch
fixes it.

LD mm/built-in.o
WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x277d9): Section mismatch in reference
from the function mem_cgroup_create() to the function
.init.text:enable_swap_cgroup()
The function mem_cgroup_create() references
the function __init enable_swap_cgroup().
This is often because mem_cgroup_create lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of enable_swap_cgroup is wrong.
