[PATCH v6 45/46] CPU hotplug, stop_machine: Decouple CPU hotplug from stop_machine() in Kconfig

Simply dropping HOTPLUG_CPU from the dependency list of STOP_MACHINE will
lead to the following kconfig issue, reported by Fengguang Wu:
"warning: (HAVE_TEXT_POKE_SMP) selects STOP_MACHINE which has unmet direct
dependencies (SMP && MODULE_UNLOAD)"
So drop HOTPLUG_CPU and add HAVE_TEXT_POKE_SMP to the dependency list of
STOP_MACHINE.
And while at it, also cleanup a comment that refers to CPU hotplug being
dependent on stop_machine().

Need stop_machine() primitive.
