__init annotations should not be used in the EFI stub, since the code is
either included in the decompressor (x86, ARM) where they have no effect,
or the whole stub is __init annotated at the section level (arm64), by
renaming the sections, in which case the __init annotations will be
redundant, and will result in section names like .init.init.text, and our
linker script does not expect that. So un-#define __init so that its
inadvertent use will force a build error.
