Summary:
Disable generation of counting-function attribute if no_instrument_function
attribute is present in function.
Interaction between -pg and no_instrument_function is the desired behavior
and matches gcc as well.
This is required for fixing a crash in Linux kernel when function tracing
is enabled.
Fixes PR33515.

Since some profiling tools, such as gprof, ftrace, and uftrace, use
-pg option to generate a mcount function call at the entry of each
function. Function invocation can be detected by this hook function.
But mcount insertion is done before function inlining phase in clang,
sometime a function that already has a mcount call can be inlined in the
middle of another function.
This patch adds an attribute "counting-function" to each function
rather than emitting the mcount call directly in frontend so that this
attribute can be processed in backend. Then the mcount calls can be
properly inserted in backend after all the other optimizations are
completed.

At least on REL6 (Linux/glibc 2.12), the proper symbol for generating gprof
data is _mcount, not mcount. Prior to this change, compiling with -pg would
generate linking errors (because of unresolved references to mcount), after
this change -pg seems at least minimally functional.
