On 32-bit powerpc, gcc generates a three instruction sequence for
function profiling:
mflr r0
stw r0, 4(r1)
bl _mcount
On kernel boot, the call to _mcount() is nop-ed out, to be patched back
in when ftrace is actually enabled. The 'stw' instruction therefore is
not necessary unless ftrace is enabled. Nop it out during ftrace init.
When ftrace is enabled, we want the 'stw' so that stack unwinding works
properly. Perform the same within the ftrace handler, similar to 64-bit
powerpc.
