arm64: hide __efistub_ aliases from kallsyms

Commit e8f3010f ("arm64/efi: isolate EFI stub from the kernel
proper") isolated the EFI stub code from the kernel proper by prefixing
all of its symbols with __efistub_, and selectively allowing access to
core kernel symbols from the stub by emitting __efistub_ aliases for
functions and variables that the stub can access legally.

As an unintended side effect, these aliases are emitted into the
kallsyms symbol table, which means they may turn up in backtraces,
e.g.,

  ...
  PC is at __efistub_memset+0x108/0x200
  LR is at fixup_init+0x3c/0x48
  ...
  [<ffffff8008328608>] __efistub_memset+0x108/0x200
  [<ffffff8008094dcc>] free_initmem+0x2c/0x40
  [<ffffff8008645198>] kernel_init+0x20/0xe0
  [<ffffff8008085cd0>] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x40

The backtrace in question has nothing to do with the EFI stub, but
simply returns one of the several aliases of memset() that have been
recorded in the kallsyms table. This is undesirable, since it may
suggest to people who are not aware of this that the issue they are
seeing is somehow EFI related.

So hide the __efistub_ aliases from kallsyms, by emitting them as
absolute linker symbols explicitly. The distinction between those
and section relative symbols is completely irrelevant to these
definitions, and to the final link we are performing when these
definitions are being taken into account (the distinction is only
relevant to symbols defined inside a section definition when performing
a partial link), and so the resulting values are identical to the
original ones. Since absolute symbols are ignored by kallsyms, this
will result in these values to be omitted from its symbol table.

After this patch, the backtrace generated from the same address looks
like this:
  ...
  PC is at __memset+0x108/0x200
  LR is at fixup_init+0x3c/0x48
  ...
  [<ffffff8008328608>] __memset+0x108/0x200
  [<ffffff8008094dcc>] free_initmem+0x2c/0x40
  [<ffffff8008645198>] kernel_init+0x20/0xe0
  [<ffffff8008085cd0>] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x40
