[PATCH 2/3] ewah: drop ewah_deserialize function

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

We don't call this function, and in fact never have since it was added (at least not in iterations of the ewah patches that got merged). Instead we use ewah_read_mmap().

Let's drop the unused code.

Note to anybody who later wants to resurrect this: it does not check for integer overflow in the ewah data size, meaning it may be possible to convince the code to allocate a too-small buffer and read() into it.
