The __ref / __refdata annotations used to be needed because of
referencing functions / variables annotated __cpuinit / __cpuinitdata.
But those annotations vanished during the development of v3.11.
Therefore most of the __ref / __refdata annotations are not needed any
more. As they may hide legitimate sections mismatches, we better get
rid of them.
