[ Upstream commit 9e0be3f50c0e8517d0238b62409c20bcb8cd8785 ]

With commit cf8e8658100d ("arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture"),
there is no need to keep the IA-64 definition of the KSYM_FUNC macro.

Clean up the IA-64 definition of the KSYM_FUNC macro.

I am a bit surprised that this is picked up for v6.6. This commit only
makes sense after IA-64 architecture is removed and I do not think we
want to backport that change to v6.6. So, this change here should not
be backported as well.

I'll drop it, thanks!
