speaker(4): drop NEEDGIANT
When the frequency configuration logic was moved to clock.c in 2008, a
mutex lock was added there (timer_spkr_setfreq) to serialize accesses
to the I/O register.
Since then, no more calls to disable/enable_intr were needed in spkr.c
than they were needed in the other callers to the same timer_spkr
functions in syscons / kern_cons, that is, not at all. This is because
there are no other accesses remaining in the kernel to the i8254
timers after boot than through clock.c.
For context, see commits
