profile: setup_profiling_timer() is moslty not implemented

Browse Source 
The setup_profiling_timer() is mostly un-implemented by many
architectures.  In many places it isn't guarded by CONFIG_PROFILE which is
needed for it to be used.  Make it a weak symbol in kernel/profile.c and
remove the 'return -EINVAL' implementations from the kenrel.

There are a couple of architectures which do return 0 from the
setup_profiling_timer() function but they don't seem to do anything else
with it.  To keep the /proc compatibility for now, leave these for a
future update or removal.

On ARM, this fixes the following sparse warning:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:793:5: warning: symbol 'setup_profiling_timer' was not declared. Should it be static?
