Since "drivers: base: Move cpu_dev_init() after node_dev_init()", we
can remove some redundant code.

node_dev_init() will walk through the nodes calling register_one_node()
on each. This will trickle down to __register_one_node() which walks
all present CPUs, calling register_cpu_under_node() on each.

register_cpu_under_node() will call get_cpu_device(cpu) for each, which
will return NULL until the CPU is registered using register_cpu(). This
now happens _after_ node_dev_init().

Therefore, calling register_cpu_under_node() from __register_one_node()
becomes a no-op, and can be removed.

__register_one_node() can be called in memory hot add path either. In that path,
a new NUMA node can be presented and becomes online. Does this become a problem
after the logic of associating CPU with newly added NUMA node?

Thanks,
Gavin
