microblaze: ftrace: add static function tracer
If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to
_mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a
possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount.
This patch add the specific _mcount support for static function
tracing. by default, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as
ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce
very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump
to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us.
