arm64: ftrace: forbid CALL_OPS with CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE



Florian reports that when building with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y,
he sees "Misaligned patch-site" warnings at boot, e.g.

| Misaligned patch-site bcm2836_arm_irqchip_handle_irq+0x0/0x88
| WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/arm64/kernel/ftrace.c:120 ftrace_call_adjust+0x4c/0x70

This is because GCC will silently ignore `-falign-functions=N` when
passed `-Os`, resulting in functions not being aligned as we expect.
This is a known issue, and to account for this we modified the kernel to
avoid `-Os` generally. Unfortunately we forgot to account for
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.

Forbid the use of CALL_OPS with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y to prevent
this issue. All exising ftrace features will work as before, though
without the performance benefit of CALL_OPS.
