To the very best of my knowledge there has never been any in-tree code that calls this function. It exists largely to support an out-of-tree driver that provides kgdb-over-ethernet using the netpoll API. kgdboe has been out-of-tree for more than 10 years and I don't recall any serious attempt to upstream it at any point in the last five. At this stage it looks better to stop carrying this code in the kernel and integrate the code into the out-of-tree driver instead. The long term trajectory for the kernel looks likely to include effort to remove or reduce the use of tasklets (something that has also been true for the last 10 years). Thus the main real reason for this patch is to make explicit that the in-tree kgdb features do not require tasklets.
