ARM: 6318/1: ftrace: fix and update dynamic ftrace
This adds mcount recording and updates dynamic ftrace for ARM to work with the new ftrace dyamic tracing implementation. It also adds support for the mcount format used by newer ARM compilers. With dynamic tracing, mcount() is implemented as a nop. Callsites are patched on startup with nops, and dynamically patched to call to the ftrace_caller() routine as needed.
