Impact: cleanup
There was an attempt to bring build-time checking for
missed ENTRY_X86/END_X86 and KPROBE... pairs. Using
them will add messy in code. Get just rid of them.
This commit could be easily restored if the need appear
in future.

If the code is time critical and this entry is called
from other places we use ENTRY to have it globally defined
and especially aligned.
Contrary we have some snippets which are size
critical. So we use plane ".globl name; name:"
directive. Introduce GLOBAL macro for this.

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.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
