CPU_FTR_NODSISRALIGN has not been used since
commit 31bfdb036f12 ("powerpc: Use instruction emulation
infrastructure to handle alignment faults")

Remove it.

Rather than removing it entirely, I'd rather we left a comment, so that
it's obvious that we are ignoring that feature on purpose, not because
we forget about it.

eg:

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/dt_cpu_ftrs.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/dt_cpu_ftrs.c

why not do it as
static int __init feat_enable_align_dsisr(struct dt_cpu_feature *f)
{
/* This feature should not be enabled */
#ifdef DEBUG
WARN(1);
#endif

return 1;
}
