[PATCH 2/3] kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core code

[Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>]

Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig
(built-in or absent) can never be modular.  So using module_init as
an alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.

Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing.

The audit targets the following module_init users for change:
 kernel/user.c                  obj-y
 kernel/kexec.c                 bool KEXEC (one instance per arch)
 kernel/profile.c               bool PROFILING
 kernel/hung_task.c             bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK
 kernel/sched/stats.c           bool SCHEDSTATS
 kernel/user_namespace.c        bool USER_NS

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one
of the priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets
mapped onto device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which
makes sense for these files) will thus change this registration
from level 6-device to level 4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier).
However no observable impact of that difference has been observed
during testing.

Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.
