Right.. so whoever added the whole ro_after_init jump_label support did
a very poor job of it.

That said; I think it is fixable. Since the key cannot be changed, we
don't actually need to track the entries list and can thus avoid the key
update.

Something like the completely untested below...

Subject: jump_label: Seal __ro_after_init keys

When a static_key is marked ro_after_init, its state will never change
(after init), therefore jump_label_update() will never need to iterate
the entries, and thus module load won't actually need to track this --
avoiding the static_key::next write.

Therefore, mark these keys such that jump_label_add_module() might
recognise them and avoid the modification.

Use the special state: 'static_key_linked(key) && !static_key_mod(key)'
to denote such keys.
