Subject: mm: Apply the section attribute to the variable, not its type
This fixes a compilation error in clang in that a linker section attribute
can't be added to a type.
arch/x86/mm/mmap.c:34:8: error: '__section__' attribute only applies to functions and global variables
struct __read_mostly va_alignment va_align = {
^
arch/x86/include/asm/cache.h:10:38: note: expanded from macro '__read_mostly'
#define __read_mostly __attribute__((__section__(".data..read_mostly")))
^
1 error generated.
By moving the section attribute to the variable declaration, the desired
effect is acheived.
