The VHE switch function calls __timer_enable_traps and
__timer_disable_traps which don't do anything on VHE systems.
Therefore, simply remove these calls from the VHE switch function and
make the functions non-conditional as they are now only called from the
non-VHE switch path.

I was about to suggest that we should move this comment, instead of remove
it, but it seems misleading anyway. We do call
enable/disable_el1_phys_timer_access on VHE, but at VCPU load/put time
instead of VM enter/exit time. So I guess removing it is best.

Should we just call enable/disable_el1_phys_timer_access directly from
__kvm_vcpu_run for non-VHE and drop this extra function level?

Thanks,

That was actually a bug in the timer series, which has now been fixed.
In any case, I don't think the comment is necessary as it's already
explained in kvm_timer_init_vhe() in arch_timer.c.

I don't think there's a problem with this indirection and we could
imagine having more traps in the future.
