[PATCH 7/7] init: execute jump_label_init() earlier

From: Radim KrÄmÃÅ
Date: Thu Oct 17 2013 - 06:18:43 EST


Patching of jump labels does not have to depend on any other init code,
so we should do it as soon as possible because static_keys cannot be
used before that.

If we find it does depend on something, the init case of patching should
be modified.

There should be no reason to use static_key_enabled() now, I'll remove
it from api in following series if there are no objections.

I would also feel a bit safer with disabled interrupts, but it might not
be required.
