ARM: 8583/1: mm: fix location of _etext
The _etext position is defined to be the end of the kernel text code, and should not include any part of the data segments. This interferes with things that might check memory ranges and expect executable code up to _etext. Just to be conservative, leave the kernel resource as it was, using __init_begin instead of _etext as the end mark.
