x86/cfi: Add __init_or_module annotations for fineibt
I'm seeing some benign section mismatch warnings with fineibt when
building kernels with CONFIG_MODULES=n:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __apply_fineibt+0x1db (section: .text) -> text_poke_early (section: .init.text)
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __apply_fineibt+0x473 (section: .text) -> text_poke_early (section: .init.text)

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __apply_fineibt+0xe85 (section: .text) -> text_poke_early (section: .init.text)
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: apply_fineibt+0x8 (section: .text.unlikely.) -> __apply_fineibt (section: .init.text)
Add the missing __init_or_module section annotations to fix the
warnings, and also free up a tiny bit of memory after boot.
