hexagon/riscv/s390 should not implement inb(), there is no reason
for that because no hardware uses it. Half of the other architectures
that currently implement inb() should not do so either.

I don't think that trace has anything to do with it, the asm-generic
header should just not provde the inb() interface on architectures
that don't use it.
