[PATCH 1/2] efi/zboot: arm64: Inject kernel code size symbol into the zboot payload

The EFI zboot code is not built as part of the kernel proper, like the
ordinary EFI stub, but still needs access to symbols that are defined
only internally in the kernel, and are left unexposed deliberately to
avoid creating ABI inadvertently that we're stuck with later.

So capture the kernel code size of the kernel image, and inject it as an
ELF symbol into the object that contains the compressed payload, where
it will be accessible to zboot code that needs it.
