Fix bugzilla #8679

WARNING: arch/i386/kernel/built-in.o(.data+0x2148): Section mismatch: reference
to .init.text: (between 'thermal_throttle_cpu_notifier' and 'mtrr_mutex')

comes because struct notifier_block thermal_throttle_cpu_notifier in
arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mcheck/therm_throt.c goes in .data section but the
notifier callback function itself has been marked __cpuinit which becomes
__init == .init.text when HOTPLUG_CPU=n.  The warning is bogus because the
callback will never be called out if HOTPLUG_CPU=n in the first place (as
one can see from kernel/cpu.c, the cpu_chain itself is __cpuinitdata :-)

So, let's mark thermal_throttle_cpu_notifier as __cpuinitdata to fix
the section mismatch warning.
