cpu/hotplug: Get rid of CPU hotplug notifier leftovers
The CPU hotplug notifiers are history. Remove the last reminders. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

@@ -6,41 +6,11 @@ specified notifier chain callbacks. It is useful to test the error handling of
notifier call chain failures which is rarely executed. There are kernel
modules that can be used to test the following notifiers.
- * CPU notifier
* PM notifier
* Memory hotplug notifier
* powerpc pSeries reconfig notifier
* Netdevice notifier
-CPU notifier error injection module
------------------------------------
-This feature can be used to test the error handling of the CPU notifiers by
-injecting artificial errors to CPU notifier chain callbacks.
-
-If the notifier call chain should be failed with some events notified, write
-the error code to debugfs interface
-/sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu/actions/<notifier event>/error
-
-Possible CPU notifier events to be failed are:
-
- * CPU_UP_PREPARE
- * CPU_UP_PREPARE_FROZEN
- * CPU_DOWN_PREPARE
- * CPU_DOWN_PREPARE_FROZEN
-
-Example1: Inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)
-
- # cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
- # echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error
- # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
- bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
-
-Example2: inject CPU online error (-2 == -ENOENT)
-
- # echo -2 > actions/CPU_UP_PREPARE/error
- # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
- bash: echo: write error: No such file or directory
