Subject: powerpc/smp: Section mismatch from smp_release_cpus to __initdata spinning_secondaries
From: Chen Gang <gang.chen@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8246aca7058f3f2c2ae503081777965cd8df7b90 upstream.
the smp_release_cpus is a normal funciton and called in normal environments,
but it calls the __initdata spinning_secondaries.
need modify spinning_secondaries to match smp_release_cpus.
the related warning:
(the linker report boot_paca.33377, but it should be spinning_secondaries)

WARNING: arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x23176): Section mismatch in reference from the function .smp_release_cpus() to the variable .init.data:boot_paca.33377
The function .smp_release_cpus() references
the variable __initdata boot_paca.33377.
This is often because .smp_release_cpus lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of boot_paca.33377 is wrong.
