[PATCH v3 03/24] vmlinux.lds.h: refactor BOUNDED_SECTION_* macros into bounded_sections.lds.h

[Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>]

Move BOUNDED_SECTION_* macros to a new helper file:
include/asm-generic/bounded_sections.lds.h and include it back into
vmlinux.lds.h.  This allows its reuse later to fix a failure to keep
dyndbg sections in some circumstances.

NOTES:

These macros are only for use in vmlinux.lds.h, where the _start &
_end symbols are needed.  Modules keep sections separate in ELF
sections, with their boundaries known, so the _start and _end are not
useful, and may confuse tools not expecting them.

This patch ignores a checkpatch warning, because new file is covered
by "GENERIC INCLUDE/ASM HEADER FILES" in MAINTAINERS
