[PATCH] 2.4 and 2.5: remove Alt-Sysrq-L

The following patch removes Alt-Sysrq-L and its associated hack to kill
of PID1, the init process.  This is a mis-feature.

If PID1 is killed, the kernel immediately enters an infinite loop in the
depths of do_exit() with interrupts disabled, completely locking the
machine.  Obviously you can only reach for the reset button or power
switch after this, leaving you with dirty filesystems.
