cpu: fix section mismatch warnings in *cpu_down

Fix following warnings:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x75c8d): Section mismatch in reference from the function take_cpu_down() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpu_chain
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x75d2a): Section mismatch in reference from the function _cpu_down() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpu_chain
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x75d4d): Section mismatch in reference from the function _cpu_down() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpu_chain
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x75de4): Section mismatch in reference from the function _cpu_down() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpu_chain
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x75e33): Section mismatch in reference from the function _cpu_down() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpu_chain

cpu_down is only used from code surrounded by HOTPLUG_CPU so any references to
__cpuinit is OK.

Add a few __ref to tech modpost to ignore the references.

This is just papering over the fact that the cpu hotplug code is fragile with
respect to use of HOTPLUG_CPU and in many cases rely on __cpuinit to get rid
of code when HOTPLUG_CPU is not enabled.  For now this is the least invasive
change.
