Ohh, right. I have missed that unregister functions definitions are
guarded as well. This patch should hopefully be correct finally.
Please note it also exports register/unregister callbacks when
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not defined which is not really needed strictly
speaking because those are only used when !MODULE but I would rather
not make the code more complicated. If maintainers prefer I can guard
exports separately of course.

Subject: [PATCH] hotplug: make register and unregister notifier API symmetric

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

Fixes: 47e627bc8c9a ("[PATCH] hotplug: Allow modules to use the cpu hotplug notifiers even if !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU")
Cc: stable # zswap requires for 4.3+
