This change fixes a linking problem, which happens if oprofile is selected to
be compiled as built-in:
`oprofile_arch_exit' referenced in section `.init.text' of
arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o: defined in discarded section
`.exit.text' of arch/arm/oprofile/built-in.o
The problem is appeared after commit 87121ca504, which introduced
oprofile_arch_exit() calls from __init function. Note that the aforementioned
commit has been backported to stable branches, and the problem is known to be
reproduced at least with 3.0.13 and 3.1.5 kernels.
