rcu: Remove unused function hlist_bl_del_init_rcu()

The function hlist_bl_del_init_rcu() is declared in rculist_bl.h,
but never used.  This commit therefore removes it.

* The caller must take whatever precautions are necessary (such as
* holding appropriate locks) to avoid racing with another
* list-mutation primitive, such as hlist_bl_add_head_rcu() or
* hlist_bl_del_rcu(), running on this same list. However, it is
