Some architectures (powerpc) may not support ftrace locations being nop'ed
out at build time. Introduce CONFIG_HAVE_OBJTOOL_NOP_MCOUNT for objtool, as
a means for architectures to enable nop'ing of ftrace locations. Add --mnop
as an option to objtool --mcount, to indicate support for the same.
Also, make sure that --mnop can be passed as an option to objtool only when
--mcount is passed.
