vsnprintf: Removal of bprintf()

Browse Source 
- Remove unused bprintf() function
 
   bprintf() was added with the rest of the "bin-printf" functions.
   These are functions that are used by trace_printk() that allows to
   quickly save the format and arguments into the ring buffer without
   the expensive processing of converting numbers to ASCII. Then on
   output, at a much later time, the ring buffer is read and the string
   processing occurs then. The bprintf() was added for consistency but
   was never used. It can be safely removed.
