lib/ubsan: remove returns-nonnull-attribute checks
Similarly to type mismatch checks, new GCC 8.x and Clang also changed for ABI for returns_nonnull checks. While we can update our code to conform the new ABI it's more reasonable to just remove it. Because it's just dead code, we don't have any single user of returns_nonnull attribute in the whole kernel. And AFAIU the advantage that this attribute could bring would be mitigated by -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks cflag that we use to build the kernel. So it's unlikely we will have a lot of returns_nonnull attribute in future. So let's just remove the code, it has no use.
