genirq: Remove the deprecated 'IRQF_DISABLED' request_irq() flag entirely

The IRQF_DISABLED flag is a NOOP and has been scheduled for removal
since Linux v2.6.36 by commit 6932bf37bed4 ("genirq: Remove
IRQF_DISABLED from core code").

According to commit e58aa3d2d0cc ("genirq: Run irq handlers with
interrupts disabled"), running IRQ handlers with interrupts
enabled can cause stack overflows when the interrupt line of the
issuing device is still active.

This patch ends the grace period for IRQF_DISABLED (i.e.,
SA_INTERRUPT in older versions of Linux) and removes the
definition and all remaining usages of this flag.

There's still a few non-functional references left in the kernel
source:

  - The bigger hunk in Documentation/scsi/ncr53c8xx.txt is removed entirely
    as IRQF_DISABLED is gone now; the usage in older kernel versions
    (including the old SA_INTERRUPT flag) should be discouraged.  The
    trouble of using IRQF_SHARED is a general problem and not specific to
    any driver.

  - I left the reference in Documentation/PCI/MSI-HOWTO.txt untouched since
    it has already been removed in linux-next.

  - All remaining references are changelogs that I suggest to keep.

-14.5 IRQ sharing problems
-
-When an IRQ is shared by devices that are handled by different drivers, it 
-may happen that one driver complains about the request of the IRQ having 
-failed. Inder Linux-2.0, this may be due to one driver having requested the 
-IRQ using the IRQF_DISABLED flag but some other having requested the same IRQ
-without this flag. Under both Linux-2.0 and linux-2.2, this may be caused by 
-one driver not having requested the IRQ with the IRQF_SHARED flag.
-
-By default, the ncr53c8xx and sym53c8xx drivers request IRQs with both the 
-IRQF_DISABLED and the IRQF_SHARED flag under Linux-2.0 and with only the IRQF_SHARED
-flag under Linux-2.2.
-
-Under Linux-2.0, you can disable use of IRQF_DISABLED flag from the boot
-command line by using the following option:
-
-     ncr53c8xx=irqm:0x20   (for the generic ncr53c8xx driver)
-     sym53c8xx=irqm:0x20   (for the sym53c8xx driver)
-
-If this does not fix the problem, then you may want to check how all other 
-drivers are requesting the IRQ and report the problem. Note that if at least 
-a single driver does not request the IRQ with the IRQF_SHARED flag (share IRQ),
-then the request of the IRQ obviously will not succeed for all the drivers.
