ftrace: add basic support for gcc profiler instrumentation

If CONFIG_FTRACE is selected and /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is
set to a non-zero value the ftrace routine will be called everytime
we enter a kernel function that is not marked with the "notrace"
attribute.

The ftrace routine will then call a registered function if a function
happens to be registered.

[ This code has been highly hacked by Steven Rostedt and Ingo Molnar,
  so don't blame Arnaldo for all of this ;-) ]

Update:
  It is now possible to register more than one ftrace function.
  If only one ftrace function is registered, that will be the
  function that ftrace calls directly. If more than one function
  is registered, then ftrace will call a function that will loop
  through the functions to call.
