irqs: add IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM to the feature-removal-schedule.txt (deprecated) list

This adds IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM to the feature-removal (deprecated) list
since most of the IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM users are technically bogus as
entropy sources in the kernel's current entropy model.

This was discussed on the lkml the past few days, which started here:

What: IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM
Check: IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM
When: July 2009
Why: Many of IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM users are technically bogus as entropy
sources in the kernel's current entropy model. To resolve this, every
input point to the kernel's entropy pool needs to better document the
type of entropy source it actually is. This will be replaced with
additional add_*_randomness functions in drivers/char/random.c
