[PATCH] kbuild: strip whitespace in cmd_record_mcount findstring

[Joe Lawrence]

CC_FLAGS_FTRACE may contain trailing whitespace that interferes with
findstring.

For example, commit 6977f95e63b9 ("powerpc: avoid -mno-sched-epilog on
GCC 4.9 and newer") introduced a change such that on my ppc64le box,
CC_FLAGS_FTRACE="-pg -mprofile-kernel ".  (Note the trailing space.)
When cmd_record_mcount is now invoked, findstring fails as the ftrace
flags were found at very end of _c_flags, without the trailing space.

  _c_flags=" ... -pg -mprofile-kernel"
  CC_FLAGS_FTRACE="-pg -mprofile-kernel "
                                       ^
    findstring is looking for this extra space

Remove the redundant whitespaces from CC_FLAGS_FTRACE in
cmd_record_mcount to avoid this problem.

Fixes: 6977f95e63b9 ("powerpc: avoid -mno-sched-epilog on GCC 4.9 and newer").

Standard disclaimer: I'm not a kbuild expert, but this works around the
problem I reported where ftrace and livepatch self-tests were failing as
specified object files were not run through the recordmcount.pl script:
