[PATCH] x86/lib: Do not use local symbols with SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL()

[PATCH] x86/lib: Do not use local symbols with SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL()

[Nadav Amit]

From: Nadav Amit <namit@vmware.com>

When SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL() is used, the symbols are local but should be
saved to the object. In contrast, using ".L" label prefix causes the
symbols not to be saved in the object.

Since it is preferable to be able to map instruction pointers back to
symbols, the local symbol should be saved in the object. Therefore, when
SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL() is used, the ".L" label prefix should not be
used.

Two symbols, however, have both SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL() and ".L" prefix:
.Lbad_put_user_clac and .Lcopy_user_handle_tail. Remove the ".L" prefix
from them.

No functional change, other then emitting these symbols into the object,
is intended.
