powerpc/ftrace: Add a postlink script to validate function tracer

Function tracer on powerpc can only work with vmlinux having a .text
size of up to ~64MB due to powerpc branch instruction having a limited
relative branch range of 32MB. Today, this is only detected on kernel
boot when ftrace is init'ed. Add a post-link script to check the size of
.text so that we can detect this at build time, and break the build if
necessary.

We add a dependency on !COMPILE_TEST for CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACER so
that allyesconfig and other test builds can continue to work without
enabling ftrace.
