Subject: [PATCH] x86, msr, remove unused native_read_tscp()

After e76b027 ("x86,vdso: Use LSL unconditionally for vgetcpu")
native_read_tscp() is unused in the kernel.  The function can be removed
like native_read_tsc() was.

[prarit@...rit linux]$ git grep native_read_tscp
arch/x86/include/asm/msr.h:45:static inline unsigned long long native_read_tscp(unsigned int *aux)
