riscv: Gate FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT_4B on DYNAMIC_FTRACE
The FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT_4B select forces the whole kernel to be built
with -fmin-function-alignment=4. This alignment is only needed so the
patchable-function-entry NOPs, which arch/riscv/Makefile emits under
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE, can be patched reliably on RISCV_ISA_C=y builds
where compressed instructions otherwise allow 2-byte function
alignment.
The select is currently gated on HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE, a capability bit
that is selected whenever the toolchain supports dynamic ftrace, rather
than on whether tracing is actually enabled. As a result every
RISCV_ISA_C=y build gets 4-byte function alignment across the entire
kernel even when function tracing is disabled, needlessly growing the
kernel image and wasting instruction cache for a feature that is not
in use.
Gate the select on DYNAMIC_FTRACE instead, matching the condition under
which arch/riscv/Makefile emits -fpatchable-function-entry, so the
alignment is only applied when it is actually needed.
Fixes: c41bf43 ("riscv: ftrace: align patchable functions to 4 Byte boundary")
