ftrace: align __mcount_loc sections
Impact: add alignment option for recordmcount.pl script
Align the __mcount_loc sections so that architectures with strict
alignment requirements need not worry about performing unaligned
accesses.
This fixes an issue where I was seeing unaligned accesses, which are not
supported on our architecture (the results of an unaligned access are
undefined).
