Use the newly added SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL to annotate starts of all
functions which do not have ".globl" annotation, but their ends are
annotated by ENDPROC. This is needed to balance ENDPROC for tools that
generate debuginfo.

To be symmetric, we also convert their ENDPROCs to the new SYM_FUNC_END.
All those functions look like they could be made local symbols by
prepending their names with ".L" so that they disappear from the
vmlinux symtable too.

Thx.
