[PATCH v2 3/3] kho: Remove notifier system infrastructure

Eliminate the core KHO notifier API
functions (`register_kho_notifier`, `unregister_kho_notifier`), the
`kho_event` enum, and the notifier chain head from KHO internal
structures.
This infrastructure was used to support the now-removed finalize and
abort states and is no longer required. Client subsystems now interact
with KHO through direct API calls.
