Looking back at the old commit 9ec4ecef0af7, it mistakenly added a
generic arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig() which is marked as __weak,
and expects any architecture will add a arch specified version if needed. 
In fact those arch specified difference has been removed by wrapping
them into each architecture's own struct kexec_file_ops methods. Means
in the commit, the generic arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig() is unnecessary
at all.

Now, you clean up that uncessary function with code change.

I think description telling above analysis could be clearer.
