x86/kernel: Move ENTRY_TEXT to the start of the image



Since commit:

  7734a0f3 ("x86/boot: Robustify calling startup_{32,64}() from the decompressor code")

it is no longer necessary for .head.text to appear at the start of the
image. Since ENTRY_TEXT needs to appear PMD-aligned, it is easier to
just place it at the start of the image, rather than line it up with the
end of the .text section. The amount of padding required should be the
same, but this arrangement also permits .head.text to be split off and
emitted separately, which is needed by a subsequent change.
