[PATCH 1/2] x86: Fixing __cpuinit/__init tangle.

[Rakib Mullick]

Impact:	 Fixing __cpuinit/__init tangle.

This patch removes the following section mismatch warning. A patch set
was send previously (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/10/407). But
introduce some other problem, reported by Rufus
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/11/46). Then Ingo Molnar suggest that,
it's best to remove __init from xsave_cntxt_init(void). Which is the
second patch in this series. Now, this one removes the following
warning.

WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.cpuinit.text+0x2237): Section
mismatch in reference from the function cpu_init() to the function
.init.text:init_thread_xstate()
The function __cpuinit cpu_init() references
a function __init init_thread_xstate().
If init_thread_xstate is only used by cpu_init then
annotate init_thread_xstate with a matching annotation.

Thanks.
