profiling: remove profile=sleep support

commit b88f55389ad27f05ed84af9e1026aa64dbfabc9a upstream.

The kernel sleep profile is no longer working due to a recursive locking
bug introduced by commit 42a20f86dc ("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.

Param: "schedule" - profile schedule points.

Requires CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS
Param: "kvm" - profile VM exits.
Param: <number> - step/bucket size as a power of 2 for
statistical time based profiling.
