Commit Message

The function kasan_unpoison_stack_above_sp_to() is defined in kasan code
but never used. The function was introduced as part of the commit:

   commit 9f7d416c36124667 ("kprobes: Unpoison stack in jprobe_return() for KASAN")

... where it was necessary because x86's jprobe_return() would leave
stale shadow on the stack, and was an oddity in that regard.

Since then, jprobes were removed entirely, and as of commit:

  commit 80006dbee674f9fa ("kprobes/x86: Remove jprobe implementation")

... there have been no callers of this function.

Remove the declaration and the implementation.

This looks sane to me, and I'm not aware of any cases oputside of
jprobes that would need this, so FWIW:
