Since commit c55d7b5e ("powerpc: Remove STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
incompatibility with RELOCATABLE"), powerpc kernels with
-mprofile-kernel can crash in certain scenarios with a trace like below:

    BUG: Unable to handle kernel instruction fetch (NULL pointer?)
    Faulting instruction address: 0x00000000
    Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

The NIP points to NULL, or a random location (data even), while the LR
always points to the LEP of a function (with an offset of 8), indicating
that something went wrong with ftrace. However, ftrace is not
necessarily active when such crashes occur.

The kernel OOPS sometimes follows a warning from ftrace indicating that
some module functions could not be patched with a nop. Other times, if a
module is loaded early during boot, instruction patching can fail due to
a separate bug, but the error is not reported due to missing error
reporting.

In all the above cases when instruction patching fails, ftrace will be
disabled but certain kernel module functions will be left with default
calls to _mcount(). This is not a problem with ELFv1. However, with
-mprofile-kernel, the default stub is problematic since it depends on a
valid module TOC in r2. If the kernel (or a different module) calls into
a function that does not use the TOC, the function won't have a prologue
to setup the module TOC. When that function calls into _mcount(), we
will end up in the relocation stub that will use the previous TOC, and
end up trying to jump into a random location. From the above trace:

	iomap_apply+0x20c/0x920 [kernel TOC]
			|
			V
	ext4_iomap_end+0x8/0x30 [no GEP == kernel TOC]
			|
			V
		_mcount() stub
	[uses kernel TOC -> random entry]

To address this, let's change over to using the special stub that is
used for ftrace_[regs_]caller() for _mcount(). This ensures that we are
not dependent on a valid module TOC in r2 for default _mcount()
handling.
