Support for -fpatchable-function-entry on ppc64le was added in Clang
with [1]. Faced a couple of issues while building the linux kernel
with Clang though. Patches 1 & 2 address those issues. The last patch
provides workaround to ensure, an open issue [2] in Clang with
-fpatchable-function-entry support, does not impact the linux
ftrace subsystem.
