UPSTREAM: arm64: mm: fold alternatives into .init
Currently we treat the alternatives separately from other data that's only used during initialisation, using separate .altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement linker sections. These are freed for general allocation separately from .init*. This is problematic as: * We do not remove execute permissions, as we do for .init, leaving the memory executable. * We pad between them, making the kernel Image bianry up to PAGE_SIZE bytes larger than necessary. This patch moves the two sections into the contiguous region used for .init*. This saves some memory, ensures that we remove execute permissions, and allows us to remove some code made redundant by this reorganisation.
