[PATCH/RFC 2/3] ftrace: introduce nohotpatch function attribute

[Heiko Carstens]

gcc supports an s390 specific function attribute called "hotpatch".
It can be used to specify the number of halfwords that shall be added before
and after a function that shall be filled with nops for runtime patching.

s390 will use the hotpatch attribute for function tracing, therefore
introduce a nohotpatch define, depending on CC_USING_HOTPATCH, and add it
to the existing notrace define.
