[1/3] powerpc: add _HEAD_GLOBAL to place functions in .text.head

From: Milton Miller <hidden>

This is the first step to moving the interrupt vectors to .text.head.

Rather than creating more repetition, factor out creating a function
descriptor, from declaring it to be global in a section.

The order of .globl and the symbol definitions is changed but is
a don't care.

I left the section in the macros, and added a new macro.   I didn't
want to hunt down other uses of _GLOBAL to audit the section, and _KPROBE
needs to set the section.
