profiling: remove profile=sleep support
The kernel sleep profile is no longer working due to a recursive locking
bug introduced by commit 42a20f8 ("sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan()
to keep task blocked")
Booting with the 'profile=sleep' kernel command line option added or
executing
# echo -n sleep > /sys/kernel/profiling
after boot causes the system to lock up.
Lockdep reports
kthreadd/3 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff93ac82e08d58 (&p->pi_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: get_wchan+0x32/0x70
but task is already holding lock:
ffff93ac82e08d58 (&p->pi_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: try_to_wake_up+0x53/0x370
with the call trace being
lock_acquire+0xc8/0x2f0
get_wchan+0x32/0x70
__update_stats_enqueue_sleeper+0x151/0x430
enqueue_entity+0x4b0/0x520
enqueue_task_fair+0x92/0x6b0
ttwu_do_activate+0x73/0x140
try_to_wake_up+0x213/0x370
swake_up_locked+0x20/0x50
complete+0x2f/0x40
kthread+0xfb/0x180
However, since nobody noticed this regression for more than two years,
let's remove 'profile=sleep' support based on the assumption that nobody
needs this functionality.
