x86/cpufeatures: Remove get_scattered_cpuid_leaf()
get_scattered_cpuid_leaf() was added[1] to help KVM rebuild hardware- defined leafs that are rearranged by Linux to avoid bloating the x86_capability array. Eventually, the last consumer of the function was removed[2], but the function itself was kept, perhaps even intentionally as a form of documentation. Remove get_scattered_cpuid_leaf() as it is currently not used by KVM. Furthermore, simply rebuilding the "real" leaf does not resolve all of KVM's woes when it comes to exposing a scattered CPUID feature, i.e. keeping the function as documentation may be counter-productive in some scenarios, e.g. when KVM needs to do more than simply expose the leaf.
