x86: Fix export for mcount and __fentry__
Commit 784d5699eddc5 ("x86: move exports to actual definitions") removed the
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__fentry__) and EXPORT_SYMBOL(mcount) from x8664_ksyms_64.c,
and added EXPORT_SYMBOL(function_hook) in mcount_64.S instead. The problem
is that function_hook isn't a function at all, but a macro that is defined
as either mcount or __fentry__ depending on the support from gcc.
Originally, I thought this was a macro issue, like what __stringify()
is used for. But the problem is a bit deeper. The Makefile.build has
some magic that does post processing of files to create the CRC
bindings. It does some searches for EXPORT_SYMBOL() and because it
finds a macro name and not the actual functions, this causes
function_hook not to be converted into mcount or __fentry__ and they
are missed.
Instead of adding more magic to Makefile.build, just add
EXPORT_SYMBOL() for mcount and __fentry__ where the ifdef is used.
Since this is assembly and not C, it doesn't require being set after
the function is defined.
