padata: Remove padata_get_cpumask
A function that copies the padata cpumasks to a user buffer is a bit error prone. The cpumask can change any time so we can't be sure to have the right cpumask when using this function. A user who is interested in the padata cpumasks should register to the padata cpumask notifier chain instead. Users of padata_get_cpumask are already updated, so we can remove it.
