[PATCH 1/8] execmem: drop unused execmem_update_copy()

[Mike Rapoport]

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@xxxxxxxxxx>

The execmem_update_copy() that used text poking was required when memory
allocated from ROX cache was always read-only. Since now its permissions
can be switched to read-write there is no need in a function that updates
memory with text poking.

Remove it.
