Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmscan.c: remove cpu online notification for now

The cpu online notification is used to adjust kswapd cpu affinity when a
NUMA node gains a new CPU.

Since currently we don't see a real runtime configuration like this,
let's drop this online notification for now.

Suggested-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@...nel.org>
Signed-off-by: Wei Yang <richardw.yang@...ux.intel.com>

v3:
  * remove the cpu online notification suggested by Michal
v2:
  * rephrase the changelog
