[PATCH v2] recordmcount: arm: Implement make_nop

Stephen Boyd sboyd at codeaurora.org

In similar spirit to x86 and arm64 support, add a make_nop_arm()
to replace calls to mcount with nops in sections that aren't
traced.

Changes from v1:
 * Replace with nops instead of pops
 * Check for BE or LE kernel with elf headers
 * Drop mcount style check because now we look at the previous
   instruction to determine if it's a push (__gnu_mcount_nc) or not (mcount).
