get_kernel_page() was added in 2012 by [1]. It was used for a while for

Remove get_kernel_page() because it has no callers.

Hi,
Just a minor decluttering: I ran across this while looking for something
else entirely, and then noticed that it's been orphaned for quite a long
time. It seems like only the plural form of this function is needed
these days, and probably in the coming days as well.
thanks,
John Hubbard
