scripts/bloat-o-meter: ignore __noinstr_text_start

Browse source 
__noinstr_text_start is adding noise to the script, ignore it.

For instance using __always_inline on __skb_incr_checksum_unnecessary and
CC=clang build.

Before this patch, __noinstr_text_start can show up and confuse us.

$ scripts/bloat-o-meter -t vmlinux.old vmlinux.new

After this patch we have a more precise result.
