[PATCH 1/1] exception/stackdepot: add irqentry section in case of STACKDEPOT

As of now if CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is disabled some functions
like gic_handle_irq will not be added in irqentry text section.

which leads to adding more stacks in stackdepot as frames below IRQ
will not be filtered with filter_irq_stack() function.

checked with debug interface for satckdepot:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/22/242

e.g. (ARM)
stack count 23188 backtrace
 prep_new_page+0x14c/0x160
 get_page_from_freelist+0x1258/0x1350
...
 __handle_domain_irq+0x1ac/0x4ac
 gic_handle_irq+0x44/0x80
 __irq_svc+0x5c/0x98
 __slab_alloc.constprop.0+0x84/0xac
 __kmalloc+0x31c/0x340
 sf_malloc+0x14/0x18

and for same _irq_svc there were 25000 calls which was causing
memory pressure of 2MB more on satckdepot, which will keep increasing.

Before patch memory consumption on ARM target after 2 hours:
Memory consumed by Stackdepot:3600 KB

After change:
============
Memory consumed by Stackdepot:1744 KB

 prep_new_page+0x14c/0x160
 get_page_from_freelist+0x2e4/0x1350
...
 __handle_domain_irq+0x1ac/0x4ac
 gic_handle_irq+0x44/0x80

^^^^^ no frames below this.
