Not removal, commit 3351b16af494 ("mm/filemap: add static for function
__add_to_page_cache_locked") made the function static which breaks the
build in btfids phase - but it seems to happen only on some
architectures. In our case, ppc64, ppc64le and riscv64 are broken,
x86_64, i586 and s390x succeed. (I made a mistake above, aarch64 did not
fail - but only because it was not built at all.)
