The function kasan_unpoison_stack_above_sp_to() is defined in kasan code
but never used. The function was introduced as part of the commit:
commit 9f7d416c36124667 ("kprobes: Unpoison stack in jprobe_return() for
KASAN")
... where it was necessary because x86's jprobe_return() would leave
stale shadow on the stack, and was an oddity in that regard.
Since then, jprobes were removed entirely, and as of commit:
commit 80006dbee674f9fa ("kprobes/x86: Remove jprobe implementation")
... there have been no callers of this function.
Remove the declaration and the implementation.
