powerpc: Work around gcc's -fno-omit-frame-pointer bug
This bug is causing random crashes (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414). -fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an interrupt. This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace. When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work around the gcc codegen bug.
