vmlinux.lds.h: Add markers for text_unlikely and text_hot sections

[ Upstream commit db0b299 ]

Add markers like __hot_text_start, __hot_text_end, __unlikely_text_start,
and __unlikely_text_end which will be included in System.map. These markers
indicate how the compiler groups functions, providing valuable information
to developers about the layout and optimization of the code.
