[PATCH v2] RDS: don't pretend to use cpu notifiers

[PATCH v2] RDS: don't pretend to use cpu notifiers

[Santosh Shilimkar]

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

It looks like an attempt to use CPU notifier here which was never
completed. Nobody tried to wire it up completely since 2k9. So I unwind
this code and get rid of everything not required. Oh look! 19 lines were
removed while code still does the same thing.

Applied to net-next, thanks.
