Thomas Huth c5edd753a0 KVM: x86: Remove the KVM_GET_NR_MMU_PAGES ioctl 
The KVM_GET_NR_MMU_PAGES ioctl is quite questionable on 64-bit hosts
since it fails to return the full 64 bits of the value that can be
set with the corresponding KVM_SET_NR_MMU_PAGES call. Its "long" return
value is truncated into an "int" in the kvm_arch_vm_ioctl() function.

Since this ioctl also never has been used by userspace applications
(QEMU, Google's internal VMM, kvmtool and CrosVM have been checked),
it's likely the best if we remove this badly designed ioctl before
anybody really tries to use it.
