This adds mcount recording and updates dynamic ftrace for ARM to work
with the new ftrace dyamic tracing implementation. It also adds support
for the mcount format used by newer ARM compilers.
With dynamic tracing, mcount() is implemented as a nop. Callsites are
patched on startup with nops, and dynamically patched to call to the
ftrace_caller() routine as needed.
