s390/uaccess: remove uaccess_primary kernel parameter 

get_user() and put_user() are inline functions in the meantime
again. Both will generate the mvcos instruction if compiled
with -march=z10 (or greater).

The kernel parameter "uaccess_primary" can only change the behavior
of out-of-line uaccess functions like copy_from_user() to not use
the mvcos instruction, but not for the above named inlined functions.

Therefore it is quite useless and the parameter can be removed.
