[PATCH] Fix scheduling-while-atomic problem in console_cpu_notify()

[Paul E. McKenney]

The console_cpu_notify( function runs with interrupts disabled in
the CPU_DEAD case.  It therefore cannot block, for example, as will
happen when it calls console_lock().  Therefore, remove the CPU_DEAD
leg of the switch statement to avoid this problem.
