[ARM] 5418/1: restore lr before leaving mcount

gcc seems to expect that lr isn't clobbered by mcount, because for a
function starting with:

	static int func(void)
	{
		void *ra = __builtin_return_address(0);

		printk(KERN_EMERG "__builtin_return_address(0) = %pS\n", ra)

		...

the following assembler is generated by gcc 4.3.2:

	   0:   e1a0c00d        mov     ip, sp
	   4:   e92dd810        push    {r4, fp, ip, lr, pc}
	   8:   e24cb004        sub     fp, ip, #4      ; 0x4
	   c:   ebfffffe        bl      0 <mcount>
	  10:   e59f0034        ldr     r0, [pc, #52]
	  14:   e1a0100e        mov     r1, lr
	  18:   ebfffffe        bl      0 <printk>

Without this patch obviously __builtin_return_address(0) yields
func+0x10 instead of the return address of the caller.

Note this patch fixes a similar issue for the routines used with dynamic
ftrace even though this isn't currently selectable for ARM.
