When building arm64 allmodconfig + ThinLTO with clang and a proposed modpost update to account for -ffuncton-sections, the following warning appears: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: padata_work_init (section: .text.padata_work_init) -> padata_mt_helper (section: .init.text) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: padata_work_init (section: .text.padata_work_init) -> padata_mt_helper (section: .init.text) In both cases, an __init function calls padata_work_init(), which is not marked __init, with padata_mt_helper(), another __init function, as a work function argument. padata_work_init() is called from non-init paths, otherwise it could be marked __init to resolve the warning. Instead, remove __init from padata_mt_helper() to resolve the warning.
