proc/kcore: don't grab lock for kclist_add()
Patch series "/proc/kcore improvements", v4.
This series makes a few improvements to /proc/kcore. It fixes a couple of
small issues in v3 but is otherwise the same. Patches 1, 2, and 3 are
prep patches. Patch 4 is a fix/cleanup. Patch 5 is another prep patch.
Patches 6 and 7 are optimizations to ->read(). Patch 8 makes it possible
to enable CRASH_CORE on any architecture, which is needed for patch 9.
Patch 9 adds vmcoreinfo to /proc/kcore.
This patch (of 9):
kclist_add() is only called at init time, so there's no point in grabbing
any locks. We're also going to replace the rwlock with a rwsem, which we
don't want to try grabbing during early boot.
While we're here, mark kclist_add() with __init so that we'll get a
warning if it's called from non-init code.
