mm: remove kern_addr_valid() completely

Most architectures (except arm64/x86/sparc) simply return 1 for
kern_addr_valid(), which is only used in read_kcore(), and it calls
copy_from_kernel_nofault() which could check whether the address is a
valid kernel address.  So as there is no need for kern_addr_valid(), let's
remove it.
