I kept it per Laurent's request, because he believed that we might
need it on some future, and keeping it would make easier to add usage
for it again, provided that it is called at the right place.

Well, as it is not been called at the right place anyway and, whatever we do
to fix the issues with data lifetime media_entity_cleanup() logic will
be affected, I suggest to just get rid of it.
