Subject: [PATCH 12/12] powerpc/ftrace: Disable profiling for some files

From: Torsten Duwe <duwe@....de>

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.
