init.h: add some more documentation to __ref* tags
The __ref* tags may have been confusing for new kernel developers (I was confused by them for sure) so adding a few more sentences to comment to clear things up for people who see those for the first time.

/*
|

* modpost check for section mismatches during the kernel build.
|
||||
* A section mismatch happens when there are references from a
|
||||
* code or data section to an init section (both code or data).
|
||||
* The init sections are (for most archs) discarded by the kernel
|
||||
* when early init has completed so all such references are potential bugs.
|
||||
* For exit sections the same issue exists.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The following markers are used for the cases where the reference to
|
||||
* the *init / *exit section (code or data) is valid and will teach
|
||||
* modpost not to issue a warning.
|
||||
* The markers follow same syntax rules as __init / __initdata. */
|
||||
* modpost not to issue a warning. Intended semantics is that a code or
|
||||
* data tagged __ref* can reference code or data from init section without
|
||||
* producing a warning (of course, no warning does not mean code is
|
||||
* correct, so optimally document why the __ref is needed and why it's OK).
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The markers follow same syntax rules as __init / __initdata.
