x86/decompressor: Move global symbol references to C code
It is no longer necessary to be cautious when referring to global variables in the position independent decompressor code, now that it is built using PIE codegen and makes an assertion in the linker script that no GOT entries exist (which would require adjustment for the actual runtime load address of the decompressor binary). This means global variables can be referenced directly from C code, instead of having to pass their runtime addresses into C routines from asm code, which needs to happen at each call site. Do so for the code that will be called directly from the EFI stub after a subsequent patch, and avoid the need to duplicate this logic a third time.
