[PATCH] cpu hotplug: make [un]register_cpu_notifier init time only

CPUs come online only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).
So, cpu_notifier functionality need to be available only at init time.

This patch makes register_cpu_notifier() available only at init time, unless
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined.

This patch exports register_cpu_notifier() and unregister_cpu_notifier() only
if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined.
