sched: Remove __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW

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.
