[PATCH] Kill __bzero() [take #2]

[Franck Bui-Huu <fbuihuu@gmail.com>]

This patch removes this function because:

  1/ Its unconventional prototype is error prone: its prototype is
  the same as memset one but was documented by mips_ksym.c like the
  following:

	   extern void *__bzero(void *__s, size_t __count);

  2/ For the caller, it makes no difference to call memset instead
  since it has to setup the second parameter of __bzero to 0.

  3/ It's not part of the Linux user access API, so no module can use
  it.

  4/ It needs to be exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL and therefore consumes
  some extra bytes.

  5/ It has only one user.
