Subject: [RFC PATCH v2, part4 07/39] UML: normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds

Normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds to conform usage
guidelines from include/asm-generic/sections.h.

1) Use _text to mark the start of the kernel image including the head
text, and _stext to mark the start of the .text section.
2) Export mandatory global variables __bss_stop.
3) Adjust __init_begin and __init_end to avoid acrossing .text and
   .data sections.
