    jump_label: Annotate entries that operate on __init code earlier · 19483677

    Jump table entries are mostly read-only, with the exception of the
    init and module loader code that defuses entries that point into init
    code when the code being referred to is freed.
    
    For robustness, it would be better to move these entries into the
    ro_after_init section, but clearing the 'code' member of each jump
    table entry referring to init code at module load time races with the
    module_enable_ro() call that remaps the ro_after_init section read
    only, so we'd like to do it earlier.
    
    So given that whether such an entry refers to init code can be decided
    much earlier, we can pull this check forward. Since we may still need
    the code entry at this point, let's switch to setting a low bit in the
    'key' member just like we do to annotate the default state of a jump
    table entry.
