sched: Remove __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW

Browse source 
Now that the last architecture to use this has stopped doing so (ARM,
thanks Catalin!) we can remove this complexity from the scheduler
core.

Unlocked context switches introduce only a very minor performance
penalty to the core scheduler implementation in the CONFIG_SMP case.
2. Interrupt status
By default, the switch_to arch function is called with interrupts
disabled. Interrupts may be enabled over the call if it is likely to
introduce a significant interrupt latency by adding the line
`#define __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW` in the same place as for
unlocked context switches. This define also implies
`__ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW`. See arch/arm/include/asm/system.h for an
example.
