It is reported that sysfs buffer overflow can be triggered in case
of too many CPU cores(>841 on 4K PAGE_SIZE) when showing CPUs in
blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpus_show().
This info isn't useful, given users may retrieve the CPU list
from sw queue entries under same kobject dir, so far not see
any active users.
So remove the entry as suggested by Greg.
