The function padata_remove_cpu was supposed to have been removed
along with padata_add_cpu but somehow it remained behind.  Let's
kill it now as it doesn't even have a prototype anymore.

Fixes: 815613da6a67 ("kernel/padata.c: removed unused code")

Documentation/padata.txt still has a reference to this function that should be
removed.


I'm just now getting back to this series that I posted--admittedly a long time
ago!  :)

    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20190828221425.22701-1-daniel.m.jordan@oracle.com/

Do you plan on posting other fixes in this area?  Asking so I know which to
work on further.  Thanks.

It also has references to all the other functions that have long
disappeared, such as padata_add_cpu.  Would you like to send a
patch to remove all of them?

Not at this point.  So feel free to rebase your work on top of these
patches.

Thanks,
