The latest merge of the tracing tree sorts the mcount table at build time.
But s390 appears to do things differently (like always) and replaces the
sorted table back to the original unsorted one. As the ftrace algorithm
depends on it being sorted, bad things happen when it is not, and s390
experienced those bad things.
Add a new config to tell the boot if the mcount table is sorted or not,
and allow s390 to opt out of it.
