x86/ftrace: Get rid of function_hook

History lesson courtesy of Steve:

"When ftrace first was introduced to the kernel, it used gcc's
mcount profiling mechanism. The mcount mechanism would add a call to
"mcount" at the start of every function but after the stack frame was
set up. Later, in gcc 4.6, gcc introduced -mfentry, that would create a
call to "__fentry__" instead of "mcount", before the stack frame was
set up. In order to handle both cases, ftrace defined a macro
"function_hook" that would be either "mcount" or "__fentry__" depending
on which one was being used.

The Linux kernel no longer supports the "mcount" method, thus there's
no reason to keep the "function_hook" define around. Simply use
"__fentry__", as there is no ambiguity to the name anymore."

Drop it everywhere.

   So in most cases, developers should write something like in the following
   example, having some asm instructions in between the macros, of course::
 
-    SYM_FUNC_START(function_hook)
+    SYM_FUNC_START(memset)
         ... asm insns ...
-    SYM_FUNC_END(function_hook)
+    SYM_FUNC_END(memset)
 
   In fact, this kind of annotation corresponds to the now deprecated ``ENTRY``
   and ``ENDPROC`` macros.
