timer stats: Optimize by adding quick check to avoid function calls
When the kernel is configured with CONFIG_TIMER_STATS but timer
stats are runtime disabled we still get calls to
__timer_stats_timer_set_start_info which initializes some
fields in the corresponding struct timer_list.
So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions
to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info
when timer stats are disabled.
In an artificial workload that does nothing but playing ping
pong with a single tcp packet via loopback this decreases cpu
consumption by 1 - 1.5%.
This is part of a modified function trace output on SLES11:
