[PATCH] LoongArch: Remove the deprecated notifier hook mechanism

From: WangYuli
Date: Fri Feb 07 2025 - 20:35:46 EST


The notifier hook mechanism in proc and cpuinfo is actually unnecessary
for LoongArch because it's not used anywhere.

It was originally added to the MIPS code in commit d6d3c9afaab4 ("MIPS:
MT: proc: Add support for printing VPE and TC ids"), and LoongArch
then inherited it.

But as the kernel code stands now, this notifier hook mechanism doesn't
really make sense for either LoongArch or MIPS.
