    x86/build: Move exception tables into __ro_after_init
    
    Since c/s 79713ed0a94c ("x86: move both exception tables into .rodata") in
    2016, we've been (ab)using the fact that .rodata is read/write during early
    boot, so we can sort the two tables.
    
    Now that we have a real __ro_after_init concept, reposition them to better
    match reality.
