[PATCH] mm: page allocator: Silence build_all_zonelists() section mismatch.

[Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>]

The memory hotplug case involves calling to build_all_zonelists() which
in turns calls in to setup_zone_pageset(). The latter is marked
__meminit while build_all_zonelists() itself has no particular
annotation. build_all_zonelists() is only handed a non-NULL pointer in
the case of memory hotplug through an existing __meminit path, so the
setup_zone_pageset() reference is always safe.

The options as such are either to flag build_all_zonelists() as __ref (as
per __build_all_zonelists()), or to simply discard the __meminit
annotation from setup_zone_pageset().

While discarding the __meminit annotation from setup_zone_pageset() is
probably cleanest I expected some people would take issue with this so
opted for the more visually offensive __ref route. I can resend for the
other way if people prefer, or someone else can do it given that it's a
trivial change.
