powerpc/ftrace: Ignore ftrace locations in exit text sections

Michael reported that we are seeing an ftrace bug on bootup when KASAN
is enabled and we are using -fpatchable-function-entry:

ftrace: allocating 47780 entries in 18 pages

With CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY=y and
CONFIG_KASAN=y, compiler emits nops in functions that it generates for
registering and unregistering global variables (unlike with -pg and
-mprofile-kernel where calls to _mcount() are not generated in those
functions). Those functions then end up in INIT_TEXT and EXIT_TEXT
respectively. We don't expect to see any profiled functions in
EXIT_TEXT, so ftrace_init_nop() assumes that all addresses that aren't
in the core kernel text belongs to a module. Since these functions do
not match that criteria, we see the above bug.

Address this by having ftrace ignore all locations in the text exit
sections of vmlinux.

powerpc/ftrace: Consolidate ftrace support into fewer files

ftrace_low.S has just the _mcount stub and return_to_handler(). Merge
this back into ftrace_mprofile.S and ftrace_64_pg.S to keep all ftrace
code together, and to allow those to evolve independently.

ftrace_mprofile.S is also not an entirely accurate name since this also
holds ppc32 code. This will be all the more incorrect once support for
-fpatchable-function-entry is added. Rename files here to more
accurately describe the code:
- ftrace_mprofile.S is renamed to ftrace_entry.S
- ftrace_pg.c is renamed to ftrace_64_pg.c
- ftrace_64_pg.S is rename to ftrace_64_pg_entry.S
