For R_PPC64_REL24 relocations, we suppress emitting instructions for TOC load/restore in the relocation stub if the relocation is for _mcount() call when using -mprofile-kernel ABI. To detect this, we check if the preceding instructions are per the standard set of instructions emitted by gcc: either the two instruction sequence of 'mflr r0; std r0,16(r1)', or the more optimized variant of a single 'mflr r0'. This is not sufficient since nothing prevents users from hand coding sequences involving a 'mflr r0' followed by a 'bl'. For removing the toc save instruction from the stub, we additionally check if the symbol is "_mcount". Add the same check here as well. Also rename is_early_mcount_callsite() to is_mprofile_mcount_callsite() since that is what is being checked. The use of "early" is misleading since there is nothing involving this function that qualifies as early.
