devtmpfs: actually reclaim some init memory
Currently gcc seems to inline devtmpfs_setup() into devtmpfsd(), so its memory footprint isn't reclaimed as intended. Mark it noinline to make sure it gets put in .init.text. While here, setup_done can also be put in .init.data: After complete() releases the internal spinlock, the completion object is never touched again by that thread, and the waiting thread doesn't proceed until it observes ->done while holding that spinlock. This is now the same pattern as for kthreadd_done in init/main.c: complete() is done in a __ref function, while the corresponding wait_for_completion() is in an __init function.
