Always we use type unsigned long to format the ip address, since the
value of ip address is never the negative.
This patch uses type unsigned long, instead of long, to format the ip
address. The code is more clearly to be viewed by using type unsigned
long, although it is correct by using either unsigned long or long.

With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an
"empty" function, it returns directly without any more action. When
enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing
function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us.
Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides
two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the
tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter).
In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every
kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of
scripts/recordmcount.pl.
For more information please look at code and Documentation/trace folder.
Steven ACK that scripts/recordmcount.pl part.

If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to
_mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a
possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount.
This patch add the specific _mcount support for static function
tracing. by default, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as
ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce
very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump
to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us.
