Subject[PATCH 2/3] kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core code
Date
Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig
(built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as
an alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.

Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing.

The audit targets the following module_init users for change:
kernel/user.c obj-y
kernel/kexec.c bool KEXEC (one instance per arch)
kernel/profile.c bool PROFILING
kernel/hung_task.c bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK
kernel/sched/stats.c bool SCHEDSTATS
kernel/user_namespace.c bool USER_NS

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one
of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets
mapped onto device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which
makes sense for these files) will thus change this registration
from level 6-device to level 4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier).
However no observable impact of that difference has been observed
during testing.

Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.
