Sure, but:
- only Samsung was using it (with optional Kconfig)
- the feature wasn't working since ARM moved to use the decompress_* libs
  instead of inflate.c (2.6.33)

Carrying around a 95% empty definition, that does nothing even when not
empty, doesn't make sense.
If someone needs a decomp_wdog, he needs to re-implement it from scratch,
using the new decompressor libraries.
