Remove old stale expression_completer hack
The code in question was introduced by:
https://sourceware.com/ml/gdb-patches/2008-06/msg00143.html
"The fix is to make sure that the entire expression is passed to
expression_completer, then duplicate some logic there in the case
where location_completer is called."
The logic that was duplicated was much later on removed by the
original explicit locations patch:

However this case in expression_completer was left behind.
I couldn't come up with a test where this currently makes any
difference.

* completer.c (expression_completer): Remove code that recomputes
'text' from 'word'.
