Add a very simple plugin to demonstrate the GCC plugin infrastructure. This GCC
plugin computes the cyclomatic complexity of each function.

The complexity M of a function's control flow graph is defined as:
M = E - N + 2P
where
E = the number of edges
N = the number of nodes
P = the number of connected components (exit nodes).


This has some weird interaction with ftrace. On x86

1) make mrproper
2) make defconfig
3) enable GCC_PLUGINS, GCC_PLUGIN_CYC_COMPLEXITY
4) enable FUNCTION_TRACER (it will select other options as well)
5) make && make modules

scripts/Makefile.modpost:91: recipe for target '__modpost' failed
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1

Verified with gcc-5.3.1 and gcc-6.1.1. You need to do a clean build
with 'make mrproper' first to see this. Subsequent builds will
succeed oddly enough. I suspect this

Thanks,
Laura
