Never mind, it looks like we can never encounter that case anyway. In
the case of kexec or reset we won't notify CPU_DOWN_PREPARE on the final
CPU, and we can't hotplug the final CPU.

Which means that the target check is irrelevant as we should always get
a valid cpu back from cpumask_any_but in the cases we'll call it. So we
could just delete it entirely, assuming I haven't missed a
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notification path...
