Fix section mismatch warning reported by modpost:
.text:early_parse_cmdline() -> .init.data:boot_command_line

How do you trigger this?


I found a minimal reproducer: i386_defconfig enable these two options:

CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y

On my toolchain (GCC 13.2), this combination instruments the function and prevents it from being inlined, which then triggers the modpost error.

Thanks,
