If we have a structure that's marked const it will be placed into the .rodata section but it could reference an init section function. Include the read only data section in the check we have for read/write data sections referencing init sections so we can find this class of problems. This exposes quite a few places where const marked structures are referencing __init functions and __init data that we were previously ignoring.

Making this change leads to quite a few other errors even on the multi_v7_defconfig for ARM[1]. I still need to do a build of the allmodconfig to see how many other errors there, but it seems to be quite a few. I suppose those will need to be fixed before we can merge this?
