rcu: Remove RCU_NONIDLE()

Since there are now exactly _zero_ users of RCU_NONIDLE(), make it go
away before someone else decides to (ab)use it.

- * RCU_NONIDLE - Indicate idle-loop code that needs RCU readers
- * @a: Code that RCU needs to pay attention to.
- *
- * RCU read-side critical sections are forbidden in the inner idle loop,
- * that is, between the ct_idle_enter() and the ct_idle_exit() -- RCU
- * will happily ignore any such read-side critical sections.  However,
- * things like powertop need tracepoints in the inner idle loop.
- *
- * This macro provides the way out:  RCU_NONIDLE(do_something_with_RCU())
- * will tell RCU that it needs to pay attention, invoke its argument
- * (in this example, calling the do_something_with_RCU() function),
- * and then tell RCU to go back to ignoring this CPU.  It is permissible
- * to nest RCU_NONIDLE() wrappers, but not indefinitely (but the limit is
- * on the order of a million or so, even on 32-bit systems).  It is
- * not legal to block within RCU_NONIDLE(), nor is it permissible to
- * transfer control either into or out of RCU_NONIDLE()'s statement.
