genirq: Remove IRQF_DISABLED from core code

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.
