Eliminate anonymous module_init() and module_exit(), which can lead to
confusion or ambiguity when reading System.map, crashes/oops/bugs,
or an initcall_debug log.

Give each of these init and exit functions unique driver-specific
names to eliminate the anonymous names.

Example 1: (System.map)
 ffffffff832fc78c t init
 ffffffff832fc79e t init
 ffffffff832fc8f8 t init

Example 2: (initcall_debug log)
 calling  init+0x0/0x12 @ 1
 initcall init+0x0/0x12 returned 0 after 15 usecs
 calling  init+0x0/0x60 @ 1
 initcall init+0x0/0x60 returned 0 after 2 usecs
 calling  init+0x0/0x9a @ 1
 initcall init+0x0/0x9a returned 0 after 74 usecs

Fixes: 31610434bc35 ("Virtio console driver")
Fixes: 7177876fea83 ("virtio: console: Add ability to remove module")

I don't think the Fixes-by really applies here, though - we don't
really want to push this into stable, nor do we want any automated
tools to pick this up because of that tag..

If this is done tree-wide, it's ok to do it for virtio too.

Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

No real opinion on whether it's a good idea.
