[PATCH 08/15] kbuild/recordmcount: Add RECORDMCOUNT_WARN to warn about mcount

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

When mcount is called in a section that ftrace will not modify it into
a nop, we want to warn about this. But not warn about this always. Now
if the user builds the kernel with the option RECORDMCOUNT_WARN=1 then
the build will warn about mcount callers that are ignored and will just
waste execution time.
