[PATCH V3 03/17] x86: Add entry trampolines to kcore

Without program headers for PTI entry trampoline pages, the trampoline
virtual addresses do not map to anything.

Example before:

sudo gdb --quiet vmlinux /proc/kcore
Reading symbols from vmlinux...done.
[New process 1]
Core was generated by `BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.16.0 root=UUID=a6096b83-b763-4101-807e-f33daff63233'.
#0 0x0000000000000000 in irq_stack_union ()
(gdb) x /21ib 0xfffffe0000006000
0xfffffe0000006000: Cannot access memory at address 0xfffffe0000006000
(gdb) quit

After:

sudo gdb --quiet vmlinux /proc/kcore
[sudo] password for ahunter:

0xfffffe0000006046: mov %rdi,(%rsp)
0xfffffe000000604a: retq
(gdb) quit

In addition, entry trampolines all map to the same page. Represent that by
giving the corresponding program headers in kcore the same offset.

This has the benefit that, when perf tools uses /proc/kcore as a source for
kernel object code, samples from different CPU trampolines are aggregated
together. Note, such aggregation is normal for profiling i.e. people want
to profile the object code, not every different virtual address the object
code might be mapped to (across different processes for example).
