Move function tracer options to Kconfig to make it easier to add
new methods for generating __mcount_loc, and to make the options
available also when building kernel modules.

Note that FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_* options are updated on rebuild and
therefore, work even if the .config was generated in a different
environment.

With this patch in place, parisc:allmodconfig no longer builds.

Error log:
Arch parisc is not supported with CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD at scripts/recordmcount.pl line 405.
make[2]: *** [scripts/mod/empty.o] Error 2

Due to this problem, CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD can no longer be
enabled in parisc builds. Since that is auto-selected by DYNAMIC_FTRACE,
DYNAMIC_FTRACE can no longer be enabled, and with it everything that
depends on it.

Ew. Any idea why this didn't show up while it was in linux-next?

Does anyone build parisc allmodconfig from -next?

parisc seems to always use -fpatchable-function-entry with dynamic
ftrace, so we just need to select
FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY to stop it from defaulting
to recordmcount:

I'll send a proper patch shortly.
