powerpc/module_64: Simplify check for -mprofile-kernel ftrace relocations
For -mprofile-kernel, we need special handling when generating stubs for ftrace calls such as _mcount(). To faciliate this, we check if a R_PPC64_REL24 relocation is for a symbol named "_mcount()" along with also checking the instruction sequence. The latter is not really required since "_mcount()" is an exported symbol and kernel modules cannot use it. As such, drop the additional checking and simplify the code. This helps unify stub creation for ftrace stubs with -mprofile-kernel and aids in code reuse. Also rename is_mprofile_mcount_callsite() to is_mprofile_ftrace_call() to reflect the checking being done. Signed-off-by: Naveen N.
