When ftrace is enabled and we build with gcc-4.7 or older, we
get a warning for each file on architectures that select
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION:

warning: -ffunction-sections disabled; it makes profiling impossible [enabled by default]

This turns off function sections in that specific case, leaving
it enabled for all other configurations.

Fixes: b67067f1176d ("kbuild: allow archs to select link dead code/data elimination")
