[PATCH v3 4/7] arm64: ftrace: allow for tracing leaf functions

CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is always enabled on arm64, adding
-fno-omit-frame-pointer, while ftrace, CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER, adds -pg
to KBUILD_CFLAGS.
The combination of these options, however, does not implicitly enables
-fno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer option, and no leaf functions are actually
traced under ftrace.
This patch allows for tracing leaf functions by adding
-fno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer option, but does it only when
CONFIG_STACK_TRACER is configured because it will increase the kernel
size and add extra instructions on runtime.
