The issue is triggered by an allocation in "init reclaimed" region.
ARC _stext emcompasses the init region (for historical reasons we wanted
the init.text to be under .text as well). This however trips up
__check_object_size()->check_kernel_text_object() which treats this as
object bleeding into kernel text.
Fix that by rezoning _stext to start from regular kernel .text and leave
out .init altogether.
