x86: Use __pa_symbol instead of __pa on C visible symbols
When I made an attempt at separating __pa_symbol and __pa I found that there were a number of cases where __pa was used on an obvious symbol. I also caught one non-obvious case as _brk_start and _brk_end are based on the address of __brk_base which is a C visible symbol. In mark_rodata_ro I was able to reduce the overhead of kernel symbol to virtual memory translation by using a combination of __va(__pa_symbol()) instead of page_address(virt_to_page()).
