ftrace: x86 mcount stub
x86 now sets up the mcount locations through the build and no longer needs to record the ip when the function is executed. This patch changes the initial mcount to simply return. There's no need to do any other work. If the ftrace start up test fails, the original mcount will be what everything will use, so having this as fast as possible is a good thing.
