Subject: [PATCH -v5 08/11] tracing: not trace mips_timecounter_init() in MIPS

We use mips_timecounter_init() to get the timestamp in MIPS, so, it's
better to not trace it, otherwise, it will goto recursion(hang) when
using function graph tracer.

but this patch have touched the common part in kernel/time/clocksource.c
and include/linux/clocksource.h, so it is not good, perhaps the better
solution is moving the whole mips_timecounter_init() implementation into
arch/mips, but that will introduce source code duplication. any other
solution?
