David Daney a484e54fae tracing: Fix $mcount_regex for MIPS in recordmcount.pl 
I found this issue in a locally patched 2.6.32.x, current kernels have
moved the offending code to an __init function which is skipped by
recordmcount.pl, so the bug is not currently being exercised.
However, I think the patch is still a good idea, to avoid future
problems if _mcount were to ever have its address taken in normal
code.

This is what I originally saw:

    Although arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c is built without -pg, and thus
    contains no calls to _mcount, it does use the address of _mcount
    in ftrace_make_nop().  This was causing relocations to be emitted
    for _mcount which recordmcount.pl erronously took to be _mcount
    call sites.  The result was that the text of ftrace_make_nop()
    would be patched with garbage leading to a system crash.

In non-module code, all _mcount call sites will have R_MIPS_26
relocations, so we restrict $mcount_regex to only match on these.
