tracing: Remove mock up poll wait function
Now that the ring buffer has a built in way to wake up readers when there's data, using irq_work such that it is safe to do it in any context. But it was still using the old "poor man's" wait polling that checks every 1/10 of a second to see if it should wake up a waiter. This makes the latency for a wake up excruciatingly long. No need to do that anymore. Completely remove the different wait_poll types from the tracers and have them all use the default one now.
