[PATCH 5/7]: Do not unregister from callout

[PATCH 5/7]: Do not unregister from callout

[Chandra Seetharaman]

There were two places where notifier_chain_unregister was called from
within a callout routine, which is not the correct usage of this
interface. This patch fixes the problem by using a new flag.
