3.16.51-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Thierry Reding treding@nvidia.com
commit 979559362516bb0f5424505c607210ac054e30ae upstream.
Add a helper to check if an object (given an address and a size) is part of a section (given beginning and end addresses). For convenience, also provide a helper that performs this check for __init data using the __init_begin and __init_end limits.
