Add a function to complement irq_cpu_rmap_add(). It removes the irq from the reverse mapping by setting the notifier to NULL. The function calls irq_set_affinity_notifier() with NULL at the notify argument which then cancel any pending notifier work and decrement reference on the notifier. When ref count reaches zero, the glue pointer is kfree and the rmap entry is set to NULL serving both to avoid second attempt to release it and also making the rmap entry available for subsequent mapping. It should be noted the drivers usually creates the reverse mapping at initialization time and remove it at unload time so we do not expect failures in allocating rmap due to kref holding the glue entry.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
