SFI: fix section mismatch warnings in sfi_core.c
The function sfi_map_memory/sfi_unmap_memory uses early_ioremap/early_iounmap respectively, which refers to a __init function. And function sfi_check_table also refers to a __init function sfi_verify_table. Since the references are valid, so use __ref to get rid of the warnings. We were warned by the following warnings: LD vmlinux.o MODPOST vmlinux.o WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xb6ba3a): Section mismatch in reference from the function sfi_map_memory() to the function .init.text:early_ioremap() The function sfi_map_memory() references the function __init early_ioremap(). This is often because sfi_map_memory lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of early_ioremap is wrong. WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xb6bab6): Section mismatch in reference from the function sfi_unmap_memory() to the function .init.text:early_iounmap() The function sfi_unmap_memory() references the function __init early_iounmap(). This is often because sfi_unmap_memory lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of early_iounmap is wrong. WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xb6be30): Section mismatch in reference from the function sfi_check_table() to the function .init.text:sfi_verify_table() The function sfi_check_table() references the function __init sfi_verify_table(). This is often because sfi_check_table lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of sfi_verify_table is wrong.
