[PATCH v2 2/2] scripts: ftrace - move the nop-processing in ftrace_init to compile time

[Yinan Liu <yinan@linux.alibaba.com>]

In some business scenarios, GCC versions are so old that
optimizations in ftrace cannot be completed, such as
-mrecord-mcount and -mnop-mcount. The recordmCount in the
kernel is actually used. In this case, ftrace_init will
consume a period of time, usually around 9~12ms. Do nop
substitution in recordmcount.c to speed up ftrace_init.
