Flexible breakpoints have never been implemented, with bp_cpuinfo::flexible always being 0. Unfortunately, they still occupy 4 bytes in each bp_cpuinfo and bp_busy_slots, as well as computing the max flexible count in fetch_bp_busy_slots(). This again causes suboptimal code generation, when we always know that `!!slots.flexible` will be 0. Just get rid of the flexible "placeholder" and remove all real code related to it. Make a note in the comment related to the constraints algorithm but don't remove them from the algorithm, so that if in future flexible breakpoints need supporting, it should be trivial to revive them (along with reverting this change).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
