Now the kcore maps are organized in ordering, the kernel text section
will be respected when merging into the kernel maps. As a result, it is
no need to replace the kernel text section specially.

This commit removes the code for replacement of the kernel text section.
With this change, the final maps has a minor difference - it separates
the kernel map [_stext.._end] into two sections:

  [_stext.._edata] and [_edata.._end]

As result, it still keeps the intact info for the kernel regions.
