tracing: Remove unused function unregister_tracer()
The function register_tracer() is only used by kernel core code, that never needs to remove the tracer. As trace_events have become the main way to add new tracing to the kernel, the need to unregister a tracer has diminished. Remove the unused function unregister_tracer(). If a need arises where we need it, then we can always add it back. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
