Subject: [PATCH] x86/cpu/amd: Remove dead code for TSEG region remapping

Commit
  26bfa5f89486 ("x86, amd: Cleanup init_amd")
moved the code that remaps the TSEG region using 4k pages from
init_amd() to bsp_init_amd().

However, bsp_init_amd() is executed well before the direct mapping is
actually created:

  setup_arch()
    -> early_cpu_init()
      -> early_identify_cpu()
        -> this_cpu->c_bsp_init()
	  -> bsp_init_amd()
    ...
    -> init_mem_mapping()

So the change effectively disabled the 4k remapping, because
pfn_range_is_mapped() is always false at this point.

It has been over six years since the commit, and no-one seems to have
noticed this, so just remove the code. The original code was also
incomplete, since it doesn't check how large the TSEG address range
actually is, so it might remap only part of it in any case.

Hygon has copied the incorrect version, so the code has never run on it
since the cpu support was added two years ago. Remove it from there as
well.
