s390/debug: remove raw view
There is not a single user of the debug raw view. Therefore remove it before anybody uses it. If anybody would make use of the view it would expose the struct __debug_entry definition to userspace and really would make it uapi. This wouldn't be good, since the definition is suboptimal and needs to be changed. Right now the structure definition is only defined to be uapi, however there is no user.
