x86/brk: make the brk reservation symbols inaccessible from C
Impact: bulletproofing, clarification The brk reservation symbols are just there to document the amount of space reserved by brk users in the final vmlinux file. Their addresses are irrelevent, and using their addresses will cause certain havok. Name them ".brk.NAME", which is a valid asm symbol but C can't reference it; it also highlights their special role in the symbol table.
