recordmcount: only record relocation of type R_AARCH64_CALL26 on arm64. 

Currently, if a section has a relocation to '_mcount' symbol, a new
__mcount_loc entry will be added whatever the relocation type is.
This is problematic when a relocation to '_mcount' is in the middle of a
section and is not a call for ftrace use.

Such relocation could be generated with below code for example:
    bool is_mcount(unsigned long addr)
    {
        return (target == (unsigned long) &_mcount);
    }

With this snippet of code, ftrace will try to patch the mcount location
generated by this code on module load and fail with:

    Call trace:
     ftrace_bug+0xa0/0x28c
     ftrace_process_locs+0x2f4/0x430
     ftrace_module_init+0x30/0x38
     load_module+0x14f0/0x1e78
     __do_sys_finit_module+0x100/0x11c

     el0_svc_common+0x88/0x194
     el0_svc_handler+0x38/0x8c

    ---[ end trace d828d06b36ad9d59 ]---
    ftrace failed to modify
    [<ffffa2dbf3a3a41c>] 0xffffa2dbf3a3a41c
     actual:   66:a9:3c:90
    Initializing ftrace call sites
    ftrace record flags: 2000000
     (0)
    expected tramp: ffffa2dc6cf66724

So Limit the relocation type to R_AARCH64_CALL26 as in perl version of
recordmcount.
