Upon investigation I found that the function torture_init_begin and torture_init_end are marked with __init,
but these functions are used later on too. Unmarking these functions fixed the bug.

Patch attached. I bisected this and it seems to have appeared after 3.14-rc3. So may be should be marked in stable too.
