recordmcount: only record relocation of type R_AARCH64_CALL26 on arm64.
Currently, if a section has a relocation to '_mcount' symbol, a new
__mcount_loc entry will be added whatever the relocation type is.
This is problematic when a relocation to '_mcount' is in the middle of a
section and is not a call for ftrace use.
Such relocation could be generated with below code for example:
bool is_mcount(unsigned long addr)
{
return (target == (unsigned long) &_mcount);
}
With this snippet of code, ftrace will try to patch the mcount location
generated by this code on module load and fail with:
Call trace:

ftrace failed to modify

Initializing ftrace call sites
ftrace record flags: 2000000

expected tramp: ffffa2dc6cf66724
So Limit the relocation type to R_AARCH64_CALL26 as in perl version of
recordmcount.
