x86 boot: simplify pageblock_bits enum declaration
The use of #defines with '##' pre-processor concatenation is a useful way to form several symbol names with a common pattern. But when there is just a single name obtained from that #define, it's just obfuscation. Better to just write the plain symbol name, as is. The following patch is a result of my wasting ten minutes looking through the kernel to figure out what 'PB_migrate_end' meant, and forgetting what I came to do, by the time I figured out that the #define PB_range macro defined it.
