Subject: kernel/notifier.c: remove blocking_notifier_chain_cond_register()

blocking_notifier_chain_cond_register() does not consider system_booting
state, which is the only difference between this function and
blocking_notifier_cain_register().  This can be a bug and is a piece of
duplicate code.

Delete blocking_notifier_chain_cond_register()
