x86/mm: Page align the '_end' symbol to avoid pfn conversion bugs

Ingo noted that if we can guarantee _end is aligned to PAGE_SIZE
we can automatically avoid bugs along the lines of,

	size = _end - _text >> PAGE_SHIFT

which is missing a call to PFN_ALIGN(). The EFI mixed mode
contains this bug, for example.

_text is already aligned to PAGE_SIZE through the use of
LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR, and the BSS and BRK sections are explicitly
aligned in the linker script, so it makes sense to align _end to
match.
