Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Clean up rcu_init_nohz() by removing unnecessary statements

Since the commit 44c65ff2e3b0(rcu: Eliminate NOCBs CPU-state Kconfig
options) made nocb-cpus identified only through the rcu_nocbs= boot
parameter, we don't have to care NOCBs CPU-state Kconfig options
anymore, which means now we can just rely on rcu_nocb_mask to
decide whether going ahead in rcu_init_nohz().

Remove the deprecated code.
