[PATCH] Allow raw_notifier callouts to unregister themselves

Browse source 
Since raw_notifier chains don't benefit from any centralized locking
protections, they shouldn't suffer from the associated limitations.  Under
some circumstances it might make sense for a raw_notifier callout routine
to unregister itself from the notifier chain.  This patch (as678) changes
the notifier core to allow for such things.
