objtool requires that all code must be contained in an ELF symbol. Symbol names that have a '.L' prefix do not emit symbol table entries, as they have special meaning for the assembler. '.L' prefixed symbols can be used within a code region, but should be avoided for denoting a range of code via 'SYM_*_START/END' annotations. Add a new check to emit a warning on finding the usage of '.L' symbols for '.S' files, if it denotes range of code via SYM_*_START/END annotation pair.
