Subject: [Patch] kallsyms: remove deprecated print_fn_descriptor_symbol()


According to feature-removal-schedule.txt, it is the time
to remove print_fn_descriptor_symbol().

And a quick grep shows that it no longer has any callers.

-What: print_fn_descriptor_symbol()
-When: October 2009
-Why:  The %pF vsprintf format provides the same functionality in a
-      simpler way.  print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is deprecated but
-      still present to give out-of-tree modules time to change.
