The rcu_gp_might_be_stalled() function is no longer used, so this commit
removes it.

- * rcu_gp_might_be_stalled - Is it likely that the grace period is stalled?
- *
- * Returns @true if the current grace period is sufficiently old that
- * it is reasonable to assume that it might be stalled. This can be
- * useful when deciding whether to allocate memory to enable RCU-mediated
- * freeing on the one hand or just invoking synchronize_rcu() on the other.
- * The latter is preferable when the grace period is stalled.
- *
- * Note that sampling of the .gp_start and .gp_seq fields must be done
- * carefully to avoid false positives at the beginnings and ends of
- * grace periods.
