Local symbols prefixed with '.L' do not emit symbol table entries, as
they have special meaning for the assembler.

'.L' prefixed symbols can be used within a code region, but should be
avoided for denoting a range of code via 'SYM_*_START/END' annotations.

Add a new check to emit a warning on finding the usage of '.L' symbols
in '.S' files, if it lies within SYM_*_START/END annotation pair.

Okay, send it out to the initial discussion group (with the standard
CCs for mentees and checkpatch) and lkml. Then we see.
