[PATCH resend] compiler-intel: Remove duplicate RELOC_HIDE()

[PATCH resend] compiler-intel: Remove duplicate RELOC_HIDE()

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

The RELOC_HIDE() implementation for the Intel compiler is identical to
the generic version in <linux/compiler.h>, so the former can just be
removed.

I thought the entire file was gone already. I don't see anyone
objecting to the earlier patch

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221016182349.49308-1-masahiroy@kernel.org/

but it never made it in. Maybe we can revive that instead?

Otherwise, your patch looks obviously correct as well.

I hoped it would be picked up by Linus directly,
or by an x86 maintainer.


We can re-push it in the next merge window.
