irqs: add IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM to the feature-removal-schedule.txt (deprecated) list
This adds IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM to the feature-removal (deprecated) list
since most of the IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM users are technically bogus as
entropy sources in the kernel's current entropy model.
This was discussed on the lkml the past few days, which started here:

13 | Why: Many of IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM users are technically bogus as entropy | ||
14 | sources in the kernel's current entropy model. To resolve this, every | ||

16 | type of entropy source it actually is. This will be replaced with | ||
