Lukas Wunner 0806b49bba serial: pl011: Fix oops on -EPROBE_DEFER
commit 27afac93e3bd7fa89749cf11da5d86ac9cde4dba upstream.

If probing of a pl011 gets deferred until after free_initmem(), an oops
ensues because pl011_console_match() is called which has been freed.

Fix by removing the __init attribute from the function and those it
calls.

Commit 10879ae5f1 ("serial: pl011: add console matching function")
introduced pl011_console_match() not just for early consoles but
regular preferred consoles, such as those added by acpi_parse_spcr().
Regular consoles may be registered after free_initmem() for various
reasons, one being deferred probing, another being dynamic enablement
of serial ports using a DeviceTree overlay.

Thus, pl011_console_match() must not be declared __init and the
functions it calls mustn't either.

Stack trace for posterity:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
