[PATCH 2/2] ftrace - add ftrace function_graph support on ARM

Sorry - had wrong lists on original message

Add ftrace function-graph tracer support for ARM.

This includes adding code in mcount to check for
(and call) a registered function graph trace entry
routine, and adding code to support a return
trampoline, to catch the function exit.

IRQENTRY_TEXT was added to vmlinux.lds.S (to eliminate
a compiler error on kernel/trace/trace_functions_graph.c),
although no routines were marked as __irq_entry.
