Eric W. Biederman b48c7236b1 exit/bdflush: Remove the deprecated bdflush system call

The bdflush system call has been deprecated for a very long time.
Recently Michael Schmitz tested[1] and found that the last known
caller of of the bdflush system call is unaffected by it's removal.

Since the code is not needed delete it.
