mm, arch: remove empty_bad_page*

Browse source 
empty_bad_page() and empty_bad_pte_table() seem to be relics from old
days which is not used by any code for a long time.  I have tried to
find when exactly but this is not really all that straightforward due to
many code movements - traces disappear around 2.4 times.

Anyway no code really references neither empty_bad_page nor
empty_bad_pte_table.  We only allocate the storage which is not used by
anybody so remove them.

* BAD_PAGE is the page that is used for page faults when linux

* unused etc..
*
* BAD_PAGETABLE is the accompanying page-table: it is initialized
* to point to BAD_PAGE entries.
*
* ZERO_PAGE is a special page that is used for zero-initialized
