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.

Would it be worth to suffix the function with nvhe? So it would be clear
that it should not be called for VHE system?

Same here.
I'll have a look.
