Revert "checkpatch: Error out if deprecated RCU API used"
The definition for single-argument kfree_rcu() has been removed,
so that any further attempt to use it will result in a build error.
Because of this build error, there is no longer any need for a special
check in checkpatch.pl.
Therefore, revert commit 1eacac3255495be7502d406e2ba5444fb5c3607c.
