The dev_irq_safe configuration is redundant, genpd don't have any
special treatmeant for handling it.  Let's remove it.

Why?

The genpd core needs to handle irq_safe properly eventully (right now it
just doesn't call power_off/power_on callbacks, but that needs to be
implmenented.  c.f commit 0aa2a22169)

If we remove these flags from platforms, we're taking away information
that the platform maintainers have specified tha will be useful when
full support is avialble.

For sure this is needed in _some_ form. But before we even figured out
how to support irq_safe genpd's, why even bother to support a
configuration for it?

Currently I think it good enough to use the per device irq_safe
option, and then let's see how handling of these devices evolves.

Kind regards
