Dan Williams 6041186a32 init: initialize jump labels before command line option parsing
When a module option, or core kernel argument, toggles a static-key it
requires jump labels to be initialized early.  While x86, PowerPC, and
ARM64 arrange for jump_label_init() to be called before parse_args(),
ARM does not.

  Kernel command line: rdinit=/sbin/init page_alloc.shuffle=1 panic=-1 console=ttyAMA0,115200 page_alloc.shuffle=1
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at ./include/linux/jump_label.h:303
  page_alloc_shuffle+0x12c/0x1ac
  static_key_enable(): static key 'page_alloc_shuffle_key+0x0/0x4' used
  before call to jump_label_init()

Move the fallback call to jump_label_init() to occur before
parse_args().

The redundant calls to jump_label_init() in other archs are left intact
in case they have static key toggling use cases that are even earlier
than option parsing.

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.
