[IA64] remove find_thread_for_addr()
find_thread_for_addr() is no longer needed. It was only used to find the correct kernel RBS for a given memory address, but since the kernel RBS is not needed any longer, this function can go away. Signed-off-by: Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
