This function has only ever been used in arch/x86, so there is no
need for other architectures to implement it. Remove it from
linux/pgtable.h and all architectures besides x86.

The arm64 implementation is not empty but it is only called from
arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(), so we can simply fold it there.
