x86: fix cpu hotplug on 32bit
commit 3e9704739daf46a8ba6593d749c67b5f7cd633d2 ("x86: boot secondary cpus through initial_code") causes the kernel to crash when a CPU is brought online after the read only sections have been write protected. The write to initial_code in do_boot_cpu() fails. Move inital_code to .cpuinit.data section. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
