  ftrace_update_time is not used anywhere else after initialization. So
delete it together with its initial code.

Thanks for the first two patches. They are definitely fixes and I plan on
testing and adding them to my next pull request.

As for this one, this has been more of a reminder for me to one day (I
know, it's been years!) to export this to see from user space. I sometimes
do it manually with a printk(), but it should probably be always shown.
Perhaps in dyn_ftrace_total_info ?
