[PATCH] checkpatch: fix false positive on __initconst

[Wolfram Sang]

checkpatch falsely complained about '__initconst' because it thought the
'const' needed a space before. Fix this by changing the list of attributes:

- add '__initconst'
- force plain 'init' to contain a word-boundary at the end

Not entirely sure if adding the word boundary may cause a side-effect which I
overlooked. A few more eyes on this would be great.
