[PATCH 1/2] vmlinux.lds.h: fix BOUNDED_SECTION_(PRE|POST)_LABEL macros

[Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>]

Commit 2f465b921bb8 ("vmlinux.lds.h: place optional header space in BOUNDED_SECTION")

added BOUNDED_SECTION_(PRE|POST)_LABEL macros, encapsulating the basic
boilerplate to KEEP/pack records into a section, and to mark the begin
and end of the section with linker-symbols.

But it tried to do extra, adding KEEP(*(.gnu.linkonce.##_sec_)) to
optionally reserve a header record in front of the data.  It wrongly
placed the KEEP after the linker-symbol starting the section,
so if a header was added, it would wind up in the data.

Moving the KEEP to the "correct" place proved brittle, and too clever
by half.  The obvious safe fix is to remove the KEEP and restore the
plain old boilerplate.  The header can be added later, with separate
macros.

Also, the macro var-names: _s_, _e_ are nearly invisible, change them
to more obvious names: _BEGIN_, _END_
