powerpc: Work around gcc's -fno-omit-frame-pointer bug



This bug is causing random crashes
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414).

-fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also
supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation
on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack
locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI
because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an
interrupt.

This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace.
When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work
around the gcc codegen bug.

Patch based on work by:
	Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
	Segher Boessenkool <segher@kernel.crashing.org>
