[ARM] 5421/1: ftrace: fix crash due to tracing of __naked functions

This is a fix for the following crash observed in 2.6.29-rc3:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/150

On ARM it doesn't make sense to trace a naked function because then
mcount is called without stack and frame pointer being set up and there
is no chance to restore the lr register to the value before mcount was
called.
