[PATCH v2] MSI-HOWTO.txt: remove reference on IRQF_DISABLED

[Valentin Rothberg <Valentin.Rothberg@lip6.fr>]

The IRQF_DISABLED is a NOOP and scheduled to be removed.  According to
Ingo Molnar (e58aa3d2d0cc01ad8d6f7f640a0670433f794922) running IRQ
handlers with interrupts enabled can cause stack overflows when the
interrupt line of the issuing device is still active.

This patch removes IRQF_DISABLED from this documentation.  It was
mentioned to be a solution to avoid deadlocks when a device uses
multiple interrupts.  As the flag is a NOOP this solution does not work
anymore.
