powerpc: Remove in_kernel_text()
[ Upstream commit 09ca497528dac12cbbceab8197011c875a96d053 ]
Last user of in_kernel_text() stopped using in with
commit 549e8152de80 ("powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a
position-independent executable").
Generic function is_kernel_text() does the same.
So remote it.
