rcu: Remove unused rcu_kick_nohz_cpu() function

Browse Source 
The rcu_kick_nohz_cpu() function is no longer used, and the functionality
it used to provide is now provided by a call to resched_cpu() in the
force-quiescent-state function rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs().  This commit
therefore removes rcu_kick_nohz_cpu().
