[PATCH] iommu/io-pgtable: Move some initialization data to .init.rodata

[Christophe JAILLET]

The memory used by '__init' functions can be freed once the initialization
phase has been performed.

Mark some 'static const' array defined and used within some '__init'
functions as '__initconst', so that the corresponding data can also be
discarded.

Without '__initconst', the data are put in the .rodata section.
With the qualifier, they are put in the .init.rodata section.

With gcc 8.3.0, the following changes have been measured:

Without '__initconst':
   section      size
  .rodata       00000720
  .init.rodata  00000018

With '__initconst':
   section      size
  .rodata       00000660
  .init.rodata  00000058

Adding __initconst "within" a function is not in line with kernel/include/init.h
which states that:
 * Don't forget to initialize data not at file scope, i.e. within a function,
 * as gcc otherwise puts the data into the bss section and not into the init
 * section.
However, having the array within the function or out-side the function
seems to have no impact in the generated code and in the section used.
According to my test, both put the data in .init.rodata.

Maybe the comment is outdated or related to some older vesion of gcc.
