LoongArch/ftrace: Add basic support

This patch contains basic ftrace support for LoongArch. Specifically,
function tracer (HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACER), function graph tracer (HAVE_
FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER) are implemented following the instructions in
Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt.

Use `-pg` makes stub like a child function `void _mcount(void *ra)`.
Thus, it can be seen store RA and alloc stack before `call _mcount`.
Find `alloc stack` at first, and then find `store RA`.

Note that the functions in both inst.c and time.c should not be hooked
with the compiler's -pg option: to prevent infinite self-referencing for
the former, and to ignore early setup stuff for the latter.
