ARM: 8788/1: ftrace: remove old mcount support
Commit cafa0010cd51 ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6") raised the minimum GCC version to 4.6. Old mcount is only required for GCC versions older than 4.4.0. Hence old mcount support can be dropped too. Signed-off-by: Stefan Agner <stefan@agner.ch> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>
