    altcall: fix __alt_call_maybe_initdata so it's safe for livepatch
    
    Setting alternative call variables as __init is not safe for use with
    livepatch, as livepatches can rightfully introduce new alternative calls to
    structures marked as __alt_call_maybe_initdata (possibly just indirectly 
due to
    replacing existing functions that use those).  Attempting to resolve those
    alternative calls then results in page faults as the variable that holds the
    function pointer address has been freed.
    
    When livepatch is supported use the __ro_after_init attribute instead of
    __initdata for __alt_call_maybe_initdata.

common code')
