s390/ftrace: optimize mcount code
Reduce the number of executed instructions within the mcount block if function tracing is enabled. We achieve that by using a non-standard C function call ABI. Since the called function is also written in assembler this is not a problem. This also allows to replace the unconditional store at the beginning of the mcount block with a larl instruction, which doesn't touch memory. In theory we could also patch the first instruction of the mcount block to enable and disable function tracing. However this would break kprobes. This could be fixed with implementing the "kprobes_on_ftrace" feature; however keeping the odd jprobes working seems not to be possible without a lot of code churn. Therefore keep the code easy and simply accept one wasted 1-cycle "larl" instruction per function prologue.
