s390: Remove CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY
When running the crash tool on a s390 live system we get a kernel panic
for reading memory within the kernel image:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops
With CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY copy_to_user() checks in __check_object_size()
if the source address is within the kernel image. When the crash tool reads
from 0x100000, this check leads to the kernel BUG().
So disable the kernel config option until this bug is fixed.
