[PATCH 2/2] firmware/memmap: Move kobject initialisation before kobject_add()

[Bernhard Walle]

Because kobject_init() call could be done from firmware_map_add_entry()
which is called before kmalloc() can be used (we use the early bootmem allocator
here), move that call to memmap_init() which is a late_initcall.

This fixes following regression in linux-next tree:
