Because I felt it's redundant in some cases and erroneously I thought
it could be bogus if num_irqs < num_global_irqs.
Of course the latter is wrong, as num_global_irqs is corrected two
lines above.

Now I think it's always redundant. num_context_irqs is only
incremented here

               if (num_irqs > smmu->num_global_irqs)
                        smmu->num_context_irqs++;

So either it is still 0 (and no fixup required for num_irqs <
num_global_irqs) or it contains already a positive value based on
(num_irqs - num_global_irqs).

But maybe I've missed something.
(At least I need to fix the commit message wrt to this removal.)

Ok, will fix this.
