[PATCH] ARM: imx: drop support for irq priorisation

[Uwe Kleine-König]

The code for irq priorisation support doesn't have any in-tree users and
the Kconfig description does wrong promises because nowadays irq
handlers are called with irqs disabled, so no high prioritized irq can
interrupt a lower prioritized handler.
