Upstream: never, opcontrol is deprecated as of v1.0.0

Userspace and kernel are hopelessly inconsistent on S390, the s390 kernel code
now supports 3 modes of operation but the userspace only understands two. It'
s not posisble to force opcontrol into timer mode as other utils (ophelp, 
oprofiled) see the kernel as running in hardware sampling mode.  I don't 
believe this code has ever worked (a testement to the #s390 oprofile users)
but since opcontrol is now deprecated, we'll go with this local workaround. 
Standard modprobe on s390 will create /dev/opcontrol/0 if hardware sampling is
actually supported (even though /dev/oprofile/cpu_type indicates it is) so 
check this and if not present,  reload with cpu_type=timer which will cause
/dev/oprofile/cpu_type to report 'timer'.
