[PATCH v2 08/14] powerpc: Handle KCOV __init vs inline mismatches

I remember seeing a warning msg around .init.text section. Let me dig
that...

... Here it is: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202504190552.mnFGs5sj-lkp@intel.com/

I am not sure why it only complains for hash_debug_pagealloc_alloc_slots().
I believe there should me more functions to mark with __init here.
Anyways, here is the patch of what I had in mind.. I am not a compiler expert,
so please let me know your thoughts on this.

Subject: [RFC] powerpc/mm/book3s64: Move few kfence & debug_pagealloc
 related calls to __init section

Move few kfence and debug_pagealloc related functions in hash_utils.c
and radix_pgtable.c to __init sections since these are only invoked once
by an __init function during system initialization.

i.e.
- hash_debug_pagealloc_alloc_slots()
- hash_kfence_alloc_pool()
- hash_kfence_map_pool()
  The above 3 functions only gets called by __init htab_initialize().

- alloc_kfence_pool()
- map_kfence_pool()
  The above 2 functions only gets called by __init radix_init_pgtable()

This should also help fix warning msgs like:

>> WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference:
hash_debug_pagealloc_alloc_slots+0xb0 (section: .text) ->
memblock_alloc_try_nid (section: .init.text)
