[PATCH] lib/decompress.c adding __init to decompress_method and data

[PATCH] lib/decompress.c adding __init to decompress_method and data

[Hein Tibosch]

Every time when compiling a new Linux kernel, I'm surprised that
this warning still occurs:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x14cfd8): Section mismatch in
reference from the variable compressed_formats to the function
.init.text:gunzip()
The function compressed_formats() references
the function __init gunzip().
etc..

This patch should solve it:

Within decompress.c, compressed_formats[] needs 'a __initdata annotation', because
some of it's data members refer to functions which will be unloaded after init.

Consequently, it's user decompress_method() will get the __init prefix.
