Subject: [PATCH] futex: remove unused empty compat_exit_robust_list()

Commit ba31c1a48538 ("futex: Move futex exit handling into futex code")
introduced compat_exit_robust_list() with a full-fledged implementation for
CONFIG_COMPAT, and an empty-body function for !CONFIG_COMPAT.
However, compat_exit_robust_list() is only used in futex_mm_release() under
ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT.

Hence for !CONFIG_COMPAT, make CC=clang W=1 warns:

  kernel/futex.c:314:20:
    warning: unused function 'compat_exit_robust_list' [-Wunused-function]

There is no need to declare the unused empty function for !CONFIG_COMPAT.
Simply, remove it to address the -Wunused-function warning.

applies cleanly on current master and next-20201113

Thomas, please pick this minor non-urgent clean-up patch.
