KVM: arm64: Avoid naming collision in tracing

Browse source

When the hypervisor tracing (CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_TRACING) is disabled, it
defines a static inline stub for trace_clock().

However, trace_clock() is already declared as an extern function in
linux/trace_clock.h which is pulled in EL2 compilation.

If the file <nvhe/clock.h> is included when CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_TRACING
is disabled (by including it manually in setup.c) it will cause:
In file included from arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/setup.c:22:

./arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/include/nvhe/clock.h:14:19: error: static declaration of ‘trace_clock’ follows non-static declaration

   14 | static inline u64 trace_clock(void) { return 0; }

      |                   ^~~~~~~~~~~

on GCC and a linker error on LLVM (it seems to change the linkage to
global)

Although that is not a problem at the moment, as no other files
include <nvhe/clock.h>. That does not seem to be the intent of
this code and that will cause issues with more users as the SMMUv3
driver.
