Commit 67361cf8 ("powerpc/ftrace: Handle large kernel configs")
added ftrace support for ppc64 kernel images with a text section larger
than 32MB. The patch did two things:
1. Add stubs at the end of .text to branch into ftrace_[regs_]caller for
   functions that were out of branch range.
2. Re-purpose linker-generated long branches to _mcount to instead branch
   to ftrace_[regs_]caller.

Before that, we only supported kernel .text up to ~32MB. With the above,
we now support up to ~96MB:
- The first 32MB of kernel text can branch directly into
  ftrace_[regs_]caller since that symbol is usually at the beginning.
- The modified long_branch from (2) above is used by the next 32MB of
  kernel text.
- The next 32MB of kernel text can use the stub at the end of text to
  branch back to ftrace_[regs_]caller.

While re-purposing the long branch works in practice, it still restricts
ftrace to kernel text up to ~96MB. The stub at the end of kernel text
from (1) already enables us to extend ftrace support for kernel text
up to 64MB, which fulfils the original requirement. Further, once we
switch to -fpatchable-function-entry, there will not be a long branch
that we can use.

Stop re-purposing the linker-generated long branches for ftrace to
simplify the code. If there are good reasons to support ftrace on
kernels beyond 64MB, we can consider adding support by using
-fpatchable-function-entry.
