remove sched notifier for cross-cpu migrations
Linux as a guest on KVM hypervisor, the only user of the pvclock vsyscall interface, does not require notification on task migration because: 1. cpu ID number maps 1:1 to per-CPU pvclock time info. 2. per-CPU pvclock time info is updated if the underlying CPU changes. 3. that version is increased whenever underlying CPU changes. Which is sufficient to guarantee nanoseconds counter is calculated properly.
