Nothing in the tree parses atarimouse=. drivers/input/mouse/atarimouse.c
only takes a module parameter, and git log -S finds no __setup() for the
boot parameter anywhere in the git history, so the entry has been stale
since before it.

Drop the entry.

Found by cross-checking every documented name against the __setup(),
early_param() and core_param() registrations in the tree.
