mailbox: omap: Remove kernel FIFO message queuing
The kernel FIFO queue has a couple issues. The biggest issue is that it causes extra latency in a path that can be used in real-time tasks, such as communication with real-time remote processors. The whole FIFO idea itself looks to be a leftover from before the unified mailbox framework. The current mailbox framework expects mbox_chan_received_data() to be called with data immediately as it arrives. Remove the FIFO and pass the messages to the mailbox framework directly as part of a threaded IRQ handler.
