Steven Rostedt d7b4d6de57 ftrace: Remove recursion between recordmcount and scripts/mod/empty
When DYNAMIC_FTRACE is enabled and we use the C version of recordmcount,
all objects are run through the recordmcount program to create a
separate section that stores all the callers of mcount.

The build process has a special file: scripts/mod/empty.o. This is
built from empty.c which is literally an empty file (except for a
single comment). This file is used to find information about the target
elf format, like endianness and word size.

The problem comes up when we need to build recordmcount. The
build process requires that empty.o is built first. The build rules
for empty.o will try to execute recordmcount on the empty.o file.
We get an error that recordmcount does not exist.

To avoid this recursion, the build file will skip running recordmcount
if the file that it is building is script/mod/empty.o.
