media: atomisp: Fix namespace collision and startup() section placement with -ffunction-sections

When compiling the kernel with -ffunction-sections (e.g., for LTO,
livepatch, dead code elimination, AutoFDO, or Propeller), the startup()
function gets compiled into the .text.startup section.  In some cases it
can even be cloned into .text.startup.constprop.0 or
.text.startup.isra.0.

However, the .text.startup and .text.startup.* section names are already
reserved for use by the compiler for __attribute__((constructor)) code.

This naming conflict causes the vmlinux linker script to wrongly place
startup() function code in .init.text, which gets freed during boot.

Fix that by renaming startup() to ov2722_startup().

Fixes: 6568f14cb5ae ("vmlinux.lds: Exclude .text.startup and .text.exit from TEXT_MAIN")
