staging: octeon: delete driver 



This driver has been in the tree since 2009 with no real movement to get
it out.  Now it is starting to cause build issues and other problems for
people who want to fix coding style problems, but can not actually build
it.

As nothing is happening here, just delete the module entirely.

This driver is functional and supports Ethernet on OCTEON+/OCTEON2/OCTEON3

chips at least up to CN7030.



TODO:

	- general code review and clean up

	- make driver self-contained instead of being split between staging and

	  arch/mips/cavium-octeon.
