trace: consolidate unlikely and likely profiler 



Impact: clean up to make one profiler of like and unlikely tracer

The likely and unlikely profiler prints out the file and line numbers
of the annotated branches that it is profiling. It shows the number
of times it was correct or incorrect in its guess. Having two
different files or sections for that matter to tell us if it was a
likely or unlikely is pretty pointless. We really only care if
it was correct or not.
