[PATCH] arm64: entry: Simplify tramp_alias macro and tramp_exit routine

The tramp_alias macro constructs the virtual alias of a symbol in the
trampoline text mapping, based on its kernel text address, and does so
in a way that is more convoluted than necessary. So let's simplify it.

Also, now that the address of the vector table is kept in a per-CPU
variable, there is no need to defer the load and the assignment of
VBAR_EL1 to tramp_exit(). Given that tramp_alias no longer needs a temp
register, this means we can restore X30 earlier as well, and only leave
X29 for tramp_exit() to restore.

Finally, merge the native and compat versions of tramp_exit() - the only
difference is whether X29 is reloaded from FAR_EL1, and we can just zero
it conditionally rather than having two distinct code paths.

While at it, give some related symbols static linkage, considering that
they are only referenced from the object file that defines them.
