[v3,3/6] scripts/sorttable: Always use an array for the mcount_loc sorting

Commit Message

From: Steven Rostedt <[e-mail]>

The sorting of the mcount_loc section is done directly to the section for
x86 and arm32 but it uses a separate array for arm64 as arm64 has the
values for the mcount_loc stored in the rela sections of the vmlinux ELF
file.

In order to use the same code to remove weak functions, always use a
separate array to do the sorting. This requires splitting up the filling
of the array into one function and the placing the contents of the array
back into the rela sections or into the mcount_loc section into a separate
file.
