#1311260 — [PATCH 3.2 16/70] scripts: recordmcount: break hardlinks

3.2.76-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

commit dd39a26538e37f6c6131e829a4a510787e43c783 upstream.

recordmcount edits the file in-place, which can cause problems when
using ccache in hardlink mode.  Arrange for recordmcount to break a
hardlinked object.
