This has been unused since it was added 11 years ago in commit

Hmm, guess just a way of counting the number of reasons, but if nobody's using
it that's silly. So:

If TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM was implemented differently [1,2], then we could use
NR_TLB_FLUSH_REASONS in a static assert to validate that the number of
exported enum labels matches the enum tlb_flush_reason.

This would catch this kind of discrepancy at compile-time.

Sure, but for the time being this isn't being used, so dead code -> yoink!

We can obviously come back to this as necessary.

Thanks,

Mathieu
