ftrace: __start_mcount_loc should be .init.rodata

__start_mcount_loc[] is unused after init, yet occupies RAM forever
as part of .rodata.  152kiB is typical on a 64-bit architecture.  Instead,
__start_mcount_loc should be in the interval [__init_begin, __init_end)
so that the space is reclaimed after init.

__start_mcount_loc[] is generated during the load portion
of kernel build, and is used only by ftrace_init().  ftrace_init is declared
'__init' and is in .init.text, which is freed after init.
__start_mcount_loc is placed into .rodata by a call to MCOUNT_REC inside
the RO_DATA macro of include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.  The array *is*
read-only, but more importantly it is not used after init.  So the call to
MCOUNT_REC should be moved from RO_DATA to INIT_DATA.

This patch has been tested on x86_64 with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y
which verifies that the address range never is accessed after init.
