[PATCH v4 2/6] x86/cpu: Move CPU capability override arrays from BSS to __ro_after_init

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb+git@google.com>]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

In order to allow CPU capability overrides to be set arbitrarily early
during the boot, the underlying data objects should not be wiped along
with the rest of BSS, and so they will need to be moved out.

Given that CPU capabilities are set at init time, and shouldn't be
modified after that, move them into __ro_after_init, which is part of
the statically initialized kernel image.
