Remove code for skipping duplicate port 80 writes

The kernel no longer uses port 80 as a delay mechanism, so we don't
need to detect the no-longer-present spammy writes.

Signed-off-by: Randall Spangler <rspangler@chromium.org>

BUG=chrome-os-partner:7972
TEST=port80 scroll, then boot the system.  see a few repeated bytes,
but not piles of 00 and ff's.
