Fix modpost Section mismatch error in i915_globals_exit().
Since both an __init function and an __exit function can call
i915_globals_exit(), any function that i915_globals_exit() calls
should not be marked as __init or __exit. I.e., it needs to be
available for either of them.
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x8b796a): Section mismatch in reference from the function i915_globals_exit() to the function .exit.text:__i915_globals_flush()
The function i915_globals_exit() references a function in an exit section.
Often the function __i915_globals_flush() has valid usage outside the exit section
and the fix is to remove the __exit annotation of __i915_globals_flush.
ERROR: modpost: Section mismatches detected.
Set CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=y to allow them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
