Fix section mismatch warnings in xtsonic. The first one appears to be
bogus and after fixing the second one, the first one is gone.

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x529adc): Section mismatch in reference from the function sonic_get_stats() to the function .init.text:set_reset_devices()
The function sonic_get_stats() references
the function __init set_reset_devices().
This is often because sonic_get_stats lacks a __init 
annotation or the annotation of set_reset_devices is wrong.

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x529b3b): Section mismatch in reference from the function xtsonic_probe() to the function .init.text:sonic_probe1()
The function xtsonic_probe() references
the function __init sonic_probe1().
This is often because xtsonic_probe lacks a __init 
annotation or the annotation of sonic_probe1 is wrong.

Fixes: 74f2a5f0ef64 ("xtensa: Add support for the Sonic Ethernet device for the XT2000 board.")

The original code had the __devinit attribute
for the function xtsonic_probe, it then was dropped in change
6980cbe4a6db ("natsemi: remove __dev* attributes").
I'd say that this is the change that this patch fixes.

Applied this one to net and I'll take Max's patch for dev_addr 
to net-next. Thanks!
