Peter Zijlstra faa4602e47 x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace code
Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
as Linus noticed it not so long ago.

It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
needed for perf either.

Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
much simpler approach.

So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()
APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.
