Yes, I knew the module have gotten the -mlong-calls, Here we just want
to use -mlong-calls for the whole kernel, and then we get the same
_mcount stuff in the whole kernel, at last, we can use the same
scripts/recordmcount.pl and ftrace_make_nop & ftrace_make_call for the
dynamic ftracer.

And seems we only need to enable it for the dynamic one. So, I will
split it out into it's own patch later.

Thanks & Regards,
