kdb: Remove the ll command
Recently some code inspection was done after fixing a problem with kmalloc used while in the kernel debugger context (which is not legal), and it turned up the fact that kdb ll command will oops the kernel. Given that there have been zero bug reports on the command combined with the fact it will oops the kernel it is clearly not being used. Instead of fixing it, it will be removed.
