Sites that match init_section_contains() get marked as INIT. For built-in code init_sections contains both __init and __exit text. OTOH kernel_text_address() only explicitly includes __init text (and there are no __exit text markers).
Match what jump_label already does and ignore the warning for INIT sites.
