Code symbols not following the aarch64 procedure call convention should
be annotated with SYM_CODE_* instead of SYM_FUNC_*

Mark relevant symbols as generic code symbols.

The commit log says this is fixing things mistakenly lablelld SYM_FUNC
but this bit of the actual change is making some symbols local.

This is removed by Ard's recent refactoring, the others that are still
present look valid enough (for things that don't use the stack IIRC they
could be seen as conforming but equally this is all running in non
standard environments).
