x86/boot: Move the _stext marker to before the boot code
When core_kernel_text() is used to determine whether an address on a
task's stack trace is a kernel text address, it incorrectly returns
false for early text addresses for the head code between the _text and
_stext markers. Among other things, this can cause the unwinder to
behave incorrectly when unwinding to x86 head code.
Head code is text code too, so mark it as such. This seems to match the
intent of other users of the _stext symbol, and it also seems consistent
with what other architectures are already doing.
