[PATCH v2 5/6] arm64: lib: Disable branch profiling for architecture library code

[Jisheng Zhang]

arch/arm64/Kbuild disables branch profiling through subdir-ccflags-y.
However, arch/arm64/lib/ is built separately through libs-y and does
not inherit that flag.

Consequently, CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING can introduce explicit
profiling instrumentation into library code, including helpers used
while applying alternatives. noinstr does not suppress instrumentation
inserted by the branch-profiling macros.

Disable branch profiling in arch/arm64/lib/Makefile to extend the
existing arm64 policy to this directory
