Subject: [PATCH] cpu/hotplug: remove unused check_for_tasks() function

clang -Wunused-function found one remaining function that was
apparently meant to be removed in a recent code cleanup:

kernel/cpu.c:565:20: warning: unused function 'check_for_tasks' [-Wunused-function]

Fixes: 530e9b76ae8f ("cpu/hotplug: Remove obsolete cpu hotplug register/unregister functions")
