kernel/extable.c: mark core_kernel_text notrace

Browse Source 
core_kernel_text is used by MIPS in its function graph trace processing,
so having this method traced leads to an infinite set of recursive calls
such as:

  Call Trace:
     ftrace_return_to_handler+0x50/0x128
     core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8
     prepare_ftrace_return+0x6c/0x114
     ftrace_graph_caller+0x20/0x44
     return_to_handler+0x10/0x30
     return_to_handler+0x0/0x30
     return_to_handler+0x0/0x30
     ftrace_ops_no_ops+0x114/0x1bc
     core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8
     core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8
     core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8
     ftrace_ops_no_ops+0x114/0x1bc
     core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8
     prepare_ftrace_return+0x6c/0x114
     ftrace_graph_caller+0x20/0x44
     (...)

Mark the function notrace to avoid it being traced.
