kbuild: introduce __init_refok/__initdata_refok to supress section mismatch warnings

Browse source 
Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references
to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the
patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention.
To avoid hardcoding a lot of function names in modpost introduce
a marker so relevant function/data can be marked.
When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from
a function/data marked no warning will be issued.

Idea from: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

/* modpost check for section mismatches during the kernel build.
* A section mismatch happens when there are references from a
* code or data section to an init section (both code or data).
* The init sections are (for most archs) discarded by the kernel
* when early init has completed so all such references are potential bugs.
* For exit sections the same issue exists.
* The following markers are used for the cases where the reference to
* the init/exit section (code or data) is valid and will teach modpost
* not to issue a warning.
* The markers follow same syntax rules as __init / __initdata. */
