mm/mmu_notifier.c: remove mmu_notifier_synchronize() Contrary to its name, mmu_notifier_synchronize() does not synchronize the notifier's SRCU instance, but rather waits for RCU callbacks to finish. i.e. it invokes rcu_barrier(). The RCU documentation is quite clear on this matter, explicitly calling out that rcu_barrier() does not imply synchronize_rcu(). As there are no callers of mmu_notifier_synchronize() and it's unclear whether any user of mmu_notifier_call_srcu() will ever want to barrier on their callbacks, simply remove the function.
