When enabling all-branch ftrace support (CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES) the
kernel gets really huge and some ftrace assembler functions like mcount can't
reach the ftrace helper functions which are written in C. Avoid this problem
of too distant branches by moving the ftrace C-helper functions into the
.text.hot section which is put in front of the standard .text section by the
linker.
