[PATCH] cpu hotplug: revert init patch submitted for 2.6.17



In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS.  I provided a
band-aid solution to solve that problem.  In the process, i undid all the
changes you both were making to ensure that these notifiers were available
only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18.  Here is a set of patches that fixes the
XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time
(unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run
time.

This patch reverts the notifier_call changes made in 2.6.17
