[PATCH] ARM: decompressor: remove unused global variable output_data

[PATCH] ARM: decompressor: remove unused global variable output_data

[Rasmus Villemoes]

output_data seems to have been write-only since the flush_window()
callback was removed in commit e7db7b4270ed ("arm: add support for
LZO-compressed kernels").
