riscv: ftrace: align patchable functions to 4 Byte boundary

We are changing ftrace code patching in order to remove dependency from
stop_machine() and enable kernel preemption. This requires us to align
functions entry at a 4-B align address.

However, -falign-functions on older versions of GCC alone was not strong
enoungh to align all functions. In fact, cold functions are not aligned
after turning on optimizations. We consider this is a bug in GCC and
turn off guess-branch-probility as a workaround to align all functions.

GCC bug id: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88345

The option -fmin-function-alignment is able to align all functions
properly on newer versions of gcc. So, we add a cc-option to test if
the toolchain supports it.
