recordmcount: Fix handling of elf64 big-endian objects.

In ELF64, the sh_flags field is 64-bits wide.  recordmcount was
erroneously treating it as a 32-bit wide field.  For little endian
objects this works because the flags of interest (SHF_EXECINSTR)
reside in the lower 32 bits of the word, and you get the same result
with either a 32-bit or 64-bit read.  Big endian objects on the
other hand do not work at all with this error.

The fix:  Correctly treat sh_flags as 64-bits wide in elf64 objects.

The symptom I observed was that my
__start_mcount_loc..__stop_mcount_loc was empty even though ftrace
function tracing was enabled.
