x86: disable BTS ptrace extensions for now

Browse Source 
revert the BTS ptrace extension for now.

based on general objections from Roland McGrath:

    http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/21/323

we'll let the BTS functionality cook some more and re-enable
it in v2.6.26. We'll leave the dead code around to help the
development of this code.

(X86_BTS is not defined at the moment)
