[PATCH] kprobes: arch_remove_kprobe

Currently arch_remove_kprobes() is only implemented/required for x86_64 and
powerpc.  All other architecture like IA64, i386 and sparc64 implementes a
dummy function which is being called from arch independent kprobes.c file.

This patch removes the dummy functions and replaces it with
#define arch_remove_kprobe(p, s)	do { } while(0)
