genirq: Remove IRQF_DISABLED from core code

Browse source 
Remove all code which is related to IRQF_DISABLED from the core kernel
code. IRQF_DISABLED still exists as a flag, but becomes a NOOP and
will be removed after a grace period. That way we can easily revert to
the previous behaviour by just restoring the core code.

Generally invoked by accident today.

What: IRQF_DISABLED
When: 2.6.36
Why: The flag is a NOOP as we run interrupt handlers with interrupts disabled
