[PATCH 07/16] ftrace: Sort the mcount records on each page

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

Sort records by ip locations of the ftrace mcount calls on each of the
set of pages in the function list. This helps in localizing cache
usuage when updating the function locations, as well as gives us
the ability to quickly find an ip location in the list.
