arm64/efi: efistub: jump to 'stext' directly, not through the header
After the EFI stub has done its business, it jumps into the kernel by
branching to offset #0 of the loaded Image, which is where it expects
to find the header containing a 'branch to stext' instruction.
However, the UEFI spec 2.1.1 states the following regarding PE/COFF
image loading:
"A UEFI image is loaded into memory through the LoadImage() Boot
Service. This service loads an image with a PE32+ format into memory.
This PE32+ loader is required to load all sections of the PE32+ image
into memory."
In other words, it is /not/ required to load parts of the image that are
not covered by a PE/COFF section, so it may not have loaded the header
at the expected offset, as it is not covered by any PE/COFF section.
So instead, jump to 'stext' directly, which is at the base of the
PE/COFF .text section, by supplying a symbol 'stext_offset' to
efi-entry.o which contains the relative offset of stext into the Image.
Also replace other open coded calculations of the same value with a
reference to 'stext_offset'
