platform/x86: wmi: Call acpi_wmi_init() later Calling acpi_wmi_init() at the subsys_initcall() level causes ordering issues to appear on some systems and they are difficult to reproduce, because there is no guaranteed ordering between subsys_initcall() calls, so they may occur in different orders on different systems. In particular, commit 86d9f48534e8 (mm/slab: fix kmemcg cache creation delayed issue) exposed one of these issues where genl_init() and acpi_wmi_init() are both called at the same initcall level, but the former must run before the latter so as to avoid a NULL pointer dereference. For this reason, move the acpi_wmi_init() invocation to the initcall_sync level which should still be early enough for things to work correctly in the WMI land.
