Simply dropping HOTPLUG_CPU from the dependency list of STOP_MACHINE will lead to the following kconfig issue, reported by Fengguang Wu: "warning: (HAVE_TEXT_POKE_SMP) selects STOP_MACHINE which has unmet direct dependencies (SMP && MODULE_UNLOAD)" So drop HOTPLUG_CPU and add HAVE_TEXT_POKE_SMP to the dependency list of STOP_MACHINE. And while at it, also cleanup a comment that refers to CPU hotplug being dependent on stop_machine().
