oprofile: convert oprofile from timer_hook to hrtimer

Oprofile is currently broken on systems running with NOHZ enabled.
A maximum of 1 tick is accounted via the timer_hook if a cpu sleeps
for a longer period of time. This does bad things to the percentages
in the profiler output. To solve this problem convert oprofile to
use a restarting hrtimer instead of the timer_hook.
