Subject: profiling: Remove unused timer hook
The last remaining user was oprofile and its use has been removed a while
ago by bc078e4eab65f ("oprofile: convert oprofile from timer_hook to
hrtimer").
There doesn't seem to be any upstream user of this hook for about two
years now. And I'm not even aware of any out of tree user.
Let's remove it.
