[PATCH 1/2] kbuild: keep __mcount_loc table through dead code elimination

[Marcin Nowakowski]

When CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled we must ensure
__mcount_loc is preserved, as otherwise there are no valid entries for
ftrace to work with.

Fixes: 4b89b7f7aad5 ('kbuild: keep data tables through dead code elimination')
