x86: introduce ENTRY(KPROBE_ENTRY)_X86 assembly helpers to catch unbalanced declaration v3

Browse source

Impact: make ENTRY()/END() macros more capable

It's usefull to catch unbalanced or messed or mixed declarations of ENTRY and
KPROBES. These macros would help a bit.

For example the following code would compile without problems

        ENTRY_X86(mcount)
                retq
        END_X86(mcount)

But if you forget and mess the following form

        ENTRY_X86(mcount)
                retq
        END(mcount)

        ENTRY_X86(ftrace_caller)

The assembler will issue the following message:
Error: ENTRY_X86/KPROBE_X86 unbalanced,missed,mixed

Actually the checking is performed at every _X86 macro
so maybe it's good idea to put ENTRY_KPROBE_FINAL_X86
at the end of .S file to be sure you didn't miss anything.
