scripts/kallsyms: remove redundant is_arm_mapping_symbol()
Since commit 6f00df24ee39 ("[PATCH] Strip local symbols from kallsyms"), all symbols starting '$' are ignored. is_arm_mapping_symbol() particularly ignores $a, $t, etc. but it is redundant. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
