c96d6660dc kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core code
Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig
(built-in or absent) can never be modular.  So using module_init as an
alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.

Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.

The audit targets the following module_init users for change:
 kernel/user.c                  obj-y
 kernel/kexec.c                 bool KEXEC (one instance per arch)
 kernel/profile.c               bool PROFILING
 kernel/hung_task.c             bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK
 kernel/sched/stats.c           bool SCHEDSTATS
 kernel/user_namespace.c        bool USER_NS

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs.  one of the
priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these
files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level
4-subsys (i.e.  slightly earlier).  However no observable impact of that
difference has been observed during testing.

Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.

cb152ff267 sched: Fix /proc/sched_stat failure on very very large systems
On systems with 4096 cores doing a cat /proc/sched_stat fails,
because we are trying to push all the data into a single kmalloc
buffer.

The issue is on these very large machines all the data will not
fit in 4mb.

A better solution is to not use the single_open() mechanism but
to provide our own seq_operations.

The output should be identical to previous version and thus not
need the version number.

30fd049afc sched: Remove sched_switch
Currently we don't utilize the sched_switch field anymore.

But, simply removing sched_switch field from the middle of the
sched_stat output will break tools.

So, to stay compatible we hardcode it to zero and remove the
field from the scheduler data structures.

Update the schedstat documentation accordingly.

There's too many sched*.[ch] files in kernel/, give them their own
directory.

(No code changed, other than Makefile glue added.)
