[PATCH] jump_labels: Add WARN_ON for too early jump label use

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Fri Sep 13 2013 - 18:32:07 EST


I spent a few hours tracking down a regression in my TSX code,
which turned out that it is not legal anymore to change jump
labels before the jump label code is initialized.

Add a WARN_ON() for this case.
