[PATCH] resource: remove deprecated __check_region() and friends

From: Jakub Sitnicki
Date: Sun Mar 08 2015 - 10:56:46 EST


All users of __check_region(), check_region(), and check_mem_region()
are gone. We got rid of the last user in v4.0-rc1. Remove them.

bloat-o-meter on x86_64 shows:

add/remove: 0/3 grow/shrink: 0/0 up/down: 0/-102 (-102)
function old new delta
__kstrtab___check_region 15 - -15
__ksymtab___check_region 16 - -16
__check_region 71 - -71
