[PATCH v2] KVM: arm64: Fix hyp_trace clock disabling

Fix the disable path in hyp_trace_clock_enable(), which fell through to
re-initialize and reschedule the clock after cancelling the work. Return
early instead.

While at it, cleanup hyp_trace_clock::lock which is unused and
hyp_trace_clock::running which is redundant: the trace_remote framework
already serializes calls to the callback enable_tracing.
