arm64: entry: remove redundant IRQ flag tracing

All EL0 returns go via ret_to_user(), which masks IRQs and notifies
lockdep and tracing before calling into do_notify_resume(). Therefore,
there's no need for do_notify_resume() to call trace_hardirqs_off(), and
the comment is stale. The call is simply redundant.

In ret_to_user() we call exit_to_user_mode(), which notifies lockdep and
tracing the IRQs will be enabled in userspace, so there's no need for
el0_svc_common() to call trace_hardirqs_on() before returning. Further,
at the start of ret_to_user() we call trace_hardirqs_off(), so not only
is this redundant, but it is immediately undone.

In addition to being redundant, the trace_hardirqs_on() in
el0_svc_common() leaves lockdep inconsistent with the hardware state,
and is liable to cause issues for any C code or instrumentation
between this and the call to trace_hardirqs_off() which undoes it in
ret_to_user().

This patch removes the redundant tracing calls and associated stale
comments.
