[GIT PULL] ftrace: Fix of s390 breakage

Linus,

ftrace: Fix s390 breakage from sorting mcount tables

The latest merge of the tracing tree sorts the mcount table at build time.
But s390 appears to do things differently (like always) and replaces the
sorted table back to the original unsorted one. As the ftrace algorithm
depends on it being sorted, bad things happen when it is not, and s390
experienced those bad things.

Add a new config to tell the boot if the mcount table is sorted or not,
and allow s390 to opt out of it.

    ftrace: Fix assuming build time sort works for s390
    
    To speed up the boot process, as mcount_loc needs to be sorted for ftrace
    to work properly, sorting it at build time is more efficient than boot up
    and can save milliseconds of time. Unfortunately, this change broke s390
    as it will modify the mcount_loc location after the sorting takes place
    and will put back the unsorted locations. Since the sorting is skipped at
    boot up if it is believed that it was sorted at run time, ftrace can crash
    as its algorithms are dependent on the list being sorted.
    
    Add a new config BUILDTIME_MCOUNT_SORT that is set when
    BUILDTIME_TABLE_SORT but not if S390 is set. Use this config to determine
    if sorting should take place at boot up.
