Scenario 1, ARMv7
=================

If code in arch/arm/kernel/ftrace.c would operate on mcount() pointer
the following may be generated:

00000230 <prealloc_fixed_plts>:
 230:   b5f8            push    {r3, r4, r5, r6, r7, lr}
 232:   b500            push    {lr}
 234:   f7ff fffe       bl      0 <__gnu_mcount_nc>
                        234: R_ARM_THM_CALL     __gnu_mcount_nc
 238:   f240 0600       movw    r6, #0
                        238: R_ARM_THM_MOVW_ABS_NC      __gnu_mcount_nc
 23c:   f8d0 1180       ldr.w   r1, [r0, #384]  ; 0x180

FTRACE currently is not able to deal with it:

The analysis for this problem has been already performed previously,
refer to the link below.

Fix the above problems by allowing only selected reloc types in
__mcount_loc. The list itself comes from the legacy recordmcount.pl
script.
