Subject: [PATCH] ARM: ftrace: add ENDPROC annotations

When building as Thumb-2, the ".type foo, %function" annotation in
ENDPROC seems to be required in order for the assembly routines to be
recognized as Thumb-2 code.  If the ENDPROC annotations are not present,
calls to these routines are generated as BLX instead of BL.
