…fs#18348) This function was removed in c6442bd: "Removing old code outside of 4.18 kernsls", but fails at present on PowerPC builds due to the recent inclusion of 6bc9c0a90522: "powerpc: fix KUAP warning in VMX usercopy path" in the upstream kernel, which introduces a use of cpu_feature_keys[], which is a GPL-only symbol. Removing the API check as it doesn't appear necessary. Signed-off-by: John Cabaj <john.cabaj@canonical.com>
