Subject: [PATCH 3/3] arm64: use -fpatchable-function-entry if available

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

Test whether gcc supports -fpatchable-function-entry and use it to promote
DYNAMIC_FTRACE to DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS. Amend support for the new
object section that holds the locations (__patchable_function_entries) and
define a proper "notrace" attribute to switch it off.
