[PATCH 3.18 14/25] scripts: recordmcount: break hardlinks

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit dd39a26538e37f6c6131e829a4a510787e43c783 upstream.

recordmcount edits the file in-place, which can cause problems when
using ccache in hardlink mode.  Arrange for recordmcount to break a
hardlinked object.
