[PATCH 5/7] powerpc/ftrace: Update ftrace_location() for powerpc -mprofile-kernel

Now that we are patching the preceding 'mflr r0' instruction with
-mprofile-kernel, we need to update ftrace_location[_range]() to
recognise that as being part of ftrace. To do this, we make a small
change to ftrace_location_range() and convert ftrace_cmp_recs() into a
weak function. We implement a custom version of ftrace_cmp_recs() which
looks at the instruction preceding the branch to _mcount() and marks
that instruction as belonging to ftrace if it is a 'nop' or 'mflr r0'.
