Subject: objtool: Shrink struct instruction
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit c509331b41b7365e17396c246e8c5797bccc8074 upstream.
Any one instruction can only ever call a single function, therefore
insn->mcount_loc_node is superfluous and can use insn->call_node.
This shrinks struct instruction, which is by far the most numerous
structure objtool creates.
