powerpc: Remove remains of /proc/ppc_htab
commit 14cf11af6cf608eb8c23e989ddb17a715ddce109 ("powerpc: Merge enough to
start building in arch/powerpc.") unwired /proc/ppc_htab, and commit
917f0af9e5a9ceecf9e72537fabb501254ba321d ("powerpc: Remove arch/ppc and
include/asm-ppc") removed the rest of the /proc/ppc_htab support, but there are
still a few references left. Kill them for good.
