s390: remove named saved segment support 



Remove the support to create a z/VM named saved segment (NSS). This
feature is not supported since quite a while in favour of jump labels,
function tracing and (now) CPU alternatives. All of these features
require to write to the kernel text section which is not possible if
the kernel is contained within an NSS.

Given that memory savings are minimal if kernel images are shared and
in addition updates of shared images are painful, the NSS feature can
be removed.

	  Select this option, if you want to share the text segment of the

	  Linux kernel between different VM guests. This reduces memory

	  usage with lots of guests but greatly increases kernel size.

	  Also if a kernel was IPL'ed from a shared segment the kexec system

	  You should only select this option if you know what you are
