hotplug: Make register and unregister notifier API symmetric

commit 777c6e0daebb3fcefbbd6f620410a946b07ef6d0 upstream.

Yu Zhao has noticed that __unregister_cpu_notifier only unregisters its
notifiers when HOTPLUG_CPU=y while the registration might succeed even
when HOTPLUG_CPU=n if MODULE is enabled. This means that e.g. zswap
might keep a stale notifier on the list on the manual clean up during
the pool tear down and thus corrupt the list. Resulting in the following

[  144.964346] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880658a2be78

This can be even triggered manually by changing
/sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor multiple times.

Fix this issue by making unregister APIs symmetric to the register so
there are no surprises.
