[PATCH] powerpc/ftrace: Fix ftrace bug with KASAN=y

Booting a KASAN=y kernel with the recently added ftrace out-of-line
support causes a warning at boot:

  ------------[ cut here ]------------

The function in question, _sub_I_65535_1 is some sort of trampoline
generated for KASAN, and is in the .text.startup section. That section
is part of INIT_TEXT, meaning is_kernel_inittext() returns true for it.

But the script that determines how many out-of-line ftrace stubs are
needed isn't doesn't consider .text.startup as inittext, leading to
there not being enough space for the init stubs.

Conversely the logic to calculate how many stubs are needed for the text
section isn't filtering out the symbols in .text.startup and so ends up
over counting.

Fix both problems by calculating the total number of stubs first, then
the number that count as inittext, and then subtract the latter from the
former to get the count for the text section.
