x86/vmlinux: Restore "text" Program Header with dummy section

In a linker script, if one places a section in one or more segments using
":PHDR", then the linker will place all subsequent allocatable sections,
which do not specify ":PHDR", into the same segments. In order to have
the NOTES section in both PT_LOAD (":text") and PT_NOTE (":note"), both
segments are marked, and the only way to undo this to keep subsequent
sections out of PT_NOTE is to mark the following section with just the
single desired PT_LOAD (":text").

In preparation for having a common NOTES macro, perform the segment
assignment using a dummy section (as done by other architectures).
