staging: wlan-ng: Remove broken driver prism2_usb 

Driver has a throughput of 200 to 800kByte/s in non encrypted
transmission. All encrypted modes are not working. WLAN without WPA2 is
useless these days. Driver is unused since April 2021 as a bug broke the
function. Find fix for bug in link below. Remove driver because of its
low performance and unusability.

TODO:

	- checkpatch.pl cleanups

	- sparse warnings

	- move to use the in-kernel wireless stack



Please send any patches or complaints about this driver to Greg

Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com> and don't bother the upstream wireless

kernel developers about it, they want nothing to do with it.
