The VHE switch function calls __timer_enable_traps and
__timer_disable_traps which don't do anything on VHE systems.
Therefore, simply remove these calls from the VHE switch function and
make the functions non-conditional as they are now only called from the
non-VHE switch path.

Since we're not testing for !VHE anymore, can you add a small comment
saying that these two function are for the benefit of !VHE only and
shouldn't be called on VHE?

Yes, absolutely:
