Subject: [PATCH] ARM: remove no-op macro VMLINUX_SYMBOL()

VMLINUX_SYMBOL() is no-op unless CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
is defined.  It has ever been selected only by BLACKFIN and METAG.
VMLINUX_SYMBOL() is unneeded for ARM-specific code.

I will put this patch into Russell's patch tracker.
This is for reviewing.
