ftrace: Introduce ftrace_need_init_nop()
Implementing live patching on s390 requires each function's prologue to contain a very special kind of nop, which gcc and clang don't generate. However, the current code assumes that if CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT is defined, then whatever the compiler generates is good enough. Move the CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT check into the new ftrace_need_init_nop() macro, that the architectures can override. An alternative solution is to disable using -mnop-mcount in the Makefile, however, this makes the build logic (even) more complicated and forces the arch-specific code to deal with the useless __fentry__ symbol.
