soc/intel: drop unneeded ISST configuration code

The code configuring ISST (Intel SpeedShift Technology) sets the ISST
capability bits in CPUID.06H:EAX. It does *not* activate HWP (Hardware
P-States), which shall be done by the OS only.

Since the capability is enabled by default (opt-out), there is nothing
to do for us in the enabled-case. Practically speaking, there is no
value at all in disabling the capability, since one can configure the
OS to not enable HWP if that is desired.

The two other bits for EPP and HWP interrupt that were set by the code
are not set anymore, too. It was tested, on three platforms so far
(CML-U, KBL-H, SKL-U), that these are set as well by default in the
MSRs reset value (0x1cc0).

To reduce complexity and duplicated code without actual benefit, this
code gets dropped. The remaining dt option will be dropped in CB:46462.

Test: Linux on Supermicro X11SSM-F detects and enables HWP:
[    0.415017] intel_pstate: HWP enabled
