x86/cfi: Use symmetric SYM_START and SYM_END in __CFI_TYPE()

  ccace936ee ("x86: Add types to indirectly called assembly functions")

introduced a x86-specific implementation of __CFI_TYPE() using an asymmetric
combination of SYM_START() and SYM_FUNC_END() to add a symbol to the KCFI type
identifier that precedes a function.

This asymmetric combination is an issue if SYM_FUNC_END() ever gets extended
in a way that requires it to be used symmetrically with SYM_FUNC_START*().
For instance to emit DWARF CFI directives that denote the start/end of
a function. [1]

Use SYM_END() with SYM_T_FUNC instead.  No functional change, as the generic
implementation of SYM_FUNC_END(name) expands into SYM_END(name, SYM_T_FUNC).
