Clang emits calls to mcount for -pg on sparc64, while the
existing ftrace support only exports the _mcount name. With
FUNCTION_TRACER enabled, modules can therefore keep relocations
against mcount and fail during modpost:
ERROR: modpost: "mcount" [arch/sparc/kernel/chmc.ko] undefined!
_mcount and mcount are aliases in arch/sparc/lib/mcount.S. Export
the plain mcount alias as well so Clang-built modules can resolve
their profiling call target.
