[PATCH] ipmr: Don't mark ip6mr_rtnl_msg_handlers as __initconst

[PATCH] ipmr: Don't mark ip6mr_rtnl_msg_handlers as __initconst

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

This gets referenced by the ip6_mr_cleanup function, so it must not be
discarded early:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: ip6_mr_cleanup+0x14 (section: .exit.text) -> ip6mr_rtnl_msg_handlers (section: .init.rodata)
ERROR: modpost: Section mismatches detected.
Set CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=y to allow them.

Fixes: 3ac84e31b33e ("ipmr: Use rtnl_register_many().")

Right, your may be better then. I was confused by the
function name suggesting that this would be called in the
module_exit path, but I now see that it is only called
at init time, so that works.

Since the commit below, IPv6 has lost unloadability, and such cleanup
functions are only called from init path now.
