x86/lib: Make get/put_user() exception handling a visible symbol
The .L-prefixed exception handling symbols of get_user() and put_user() do get discarded from the symbol table of the final kernel image. This confuses tools which parse that symbol table and try to map the chunk of code to a symbol. And, in general, from toolchain perspective, it is a good practice to have all code belong to a symbol, and the correct one at that. ( Currently, objdump displays that exception handling chunk as part of the previous symbol which is a "fallback" of sorts and not correct. ) While at it, rename them to something more descriptive.
