PATCH 1/1 USB: xhci: drop workaround for forced irq threading

Force-threaded interrupt handlers used to run with interrupts enabled, something which could lead to deadlocks in case a threaded handler shared a lock with code running in hard interrupt context (e.g. timer callbacks) and did not explicitly disable interrupts.

Since commit 81e2073c175b ("genirq: Disable interrupts for force threaded handlers") interrupt handlers always run with interrupts disabled on non-RT so that drivers no longer need to do handle forced threading ("threadirqs").

Drop the now obsolete workaround added by commit 63aea0dbab90 ("USB:
xhci: fix lock-inversion problem").
