Correct, but in the initial code even init_hyp_mode was protected under
cpu_notifier_register_begin, but IIUC recent re-org eliminated the need
for that and the above code exactly resembles what register_cpu_notifier
does.

If that's not the case then we need to move cpu_notifier_register_begin
further up and retain __register_cpu_notifier

I mainly changed it to keep it consistent with unregister call.
