[RFA][PATCH 15/27] ftrace: Remove check for HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

function_trace_stop is no longer used to disable function tracing.
This means that archs are no longer limited if it does not support
checking this variable in the mcount trampoline.

No need to use the list_func for archs that do not support this
obsolete method.

-This is an optional optimization for the normal case when tracing is turned off
-in the system.  If you do not enable this Kconfig option, the common ftrace
-code will take care of doing the checking for you.
-
-To support this feature, you only need to check the function_trace_stop
-variable in the mcount function.  If it is non-zero, there is no tracing to be
-done at all, so you can return.
-
-This additional pseudo code would simply be:
-void mcount(void)
-{
-	/* save any bare state needed in order to do initial checking */
-
-+	if (function_trace_stop)
-+		return;

-	extern void (*ftrace_trace_function)(unsigned long, unsigned long);
