[PATCH v2 3/3] ARM: oprofile: Always allow backtraces

Always allow backtrace when using oprofile on ARM, even if a PMU
isn't present. Implemented by removing code and using stubs
provided by <linux/oprofile.h>.

Restores functionality originally introduced in commit
1b7b56982fdcd9d85effd76f3928cf5d6eb26155 ("oprofile: Always allow
backtraces on ARM") by Richard Purdie.
