[PATCH] arm/arm64: KVM: clean up useless code in kvm_timer_enable

From: Longpeng(Mike)
Date: Tue Nov 08 2016 - 21:51:21 EST


1) Since commit:41a54482 changed timer enabled variable to per-vcpu,
the correlative comment in kvm_timer_enable is useless now.

2) After the kvm module init successfully, the timecounter is always
non-null, so we can remove the checking of timercounter.
