Subject: [PATCH v8 5/8] ppc64 ftrace_with_regs: disable profiling for some
 files

Using -mprofile-kernel on early boot code not only confuses the
checker but is also useless, as the infrastructure is not yet in
place. Proceed like with -pg (remove it from CFLAGS), equally with
time.o, ftrace and its helper files.

  * arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile,
    arch/powerpc/lib/Makefile:
    - remove -mprofile-kernel from low level, boot code and
      code-patching objects' CFLAGS.
