kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core code
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.
