[RFC,v2,10/20] jump_label,module: Don't alloc static_key_mod for __ro_after_init keys

Commit Message

From: Peter Zijlstra <[e-mail]>

When a static_key is marked ro_after_init, its state will never change
(after init), therefore jump_label_update() will never need to iterate
the entries, and thus module load won't actually need to track this --
avoiding the static_key::next write.

Therefore, mark these keys such that jump_label_add_module() might
recognise them and avoid the modification.

Use the special state: 'static_key_linked(key) && !static_key_mod(key)'
to denote such keys.

Ah, it works? Excellent! You can remove the NOT from the SoB then ;-)
