kernel/latencytop.c: remove unnecessary checks for latencytop_enabled 

1. In latencytop source codes, we only have such calling chain:

account_scheduler_latency(struct task_struct *task, int usecs, int inter)
{
        if (unlikely(latencytop_enabled)) /* the outtermost check */
                __account_scheduler_latency(task, usecs, inter);
}
__account_scheduler_latency
    account_global_scheduler_latency
        if (!latencytop_enabled)

So, the inner check for latencytop_enabled is not necessary at all.

2. In clear_all_latency_tracing and now is called
   clear_tsk_latency_tracing the check for latencytop_enabled is redundant
   and buggy to some extent.

   We have no reason to refuse clearing the /proc/$pid/latency if
   latencytop_enabled is set to 0, considering that if we use latencytop
   manually by echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/latencytop, then we want to clear
   /proc/$pid/latency and failed.

   Also we don't have such check in brother function
   clear_global_latency_tracing.

Notes: These changes are only visible to users who set
   CONFIG_LATENCYTOP and won't change user tool latencytop's behavior.
