Finally eradicate CONFIG_HOTPLUG
Ever since commit 45f035ab9b8f ("CONFIG_HOTPLUG should be always on"), it has been basically impossible to build a kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG turned off. Remove all the remaining references to it.

KERNEL HOTPLUG HELPER (/sbin/hotplug)
-When you compile with CONFIG_HOTPLUG, you get a new kernel parameter:
-/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug, which normally holds the pathname "/sbin/hotplug".
-That parameter names a program which the kernel may invoke at various times.

The /sbin/hotplug program can be invoked by any subsystem as part of its
reaction to a configuration change, from a thread in that subsystem.
