arm64/head: avoid symbol names pointing into first 64 KB of kernel image
We no longer map the first 64 KB of the kernel image, as there is nothing there that we ever need to refer back to once the kernel has booted. Even though facilities like kallsyms are very careful to only refer to the region that starts at _stext when mapping virtual addresses to symbol names, let's avoid any confusion by switching to local .L prefixed symbol names for the EFI header, as none of them have any significance to the rest of the kernel.
