Subject: [RFC PATCH 03/10] ftrace: Drop the ftrace_profile_enabled checks in tracing hot path

Every time we enter the function profiler tracing callbacks, we first
check if the function profiling is enabled.

This check is useless because we register the function graph
callbacks only after the hashlist has been initialized.
