KVM: SVM: hyper-v: placate modpost section mismatch error 

modpost reports section mismatch errors/warnings:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: svm_hv_hardware_setup (section: .text) -> (unknown) (section: .init.data)
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: svm_hv_hardware_setup (section: .text) -> (unknown) (section: .init.data)
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: svm_hv_hardware_setup (section: .text) -> (unknown) (section: .init.data)

This "(unknown) (section: .init.data)" all refer to svm_x86_ops.

Tag svm_hv_hardware_setup() with __init to fix a modpost warning as the
non-stub implementation accesses __initdata (svm_x86_ops), i.e. would
generate a use-after-free if svm_hv_hardware_setup() were actually invoked
post-init.  The helper is only called from svm_hardware_setup(), which is
also __init, i.e. lack of __init is benign other than the modpost warning.
