alpha: use .data.init_task instead of .data.init_thread.
alpha is the only architecture that uses the section name .data.init_thread instead of .data.init_task. So convert alpha to use .data.init_task like everything else. .data.init_task does not need a separate output section; this change also moves it into the .data output section.
