staging: rtl8192e: delete the driver 



This driver is using lib80211 and any driver that plans to ever
leave staging should never have done that, so remove the driver
to enable cleaning up lib80211 into libipw inside the old Intel
drivers.

	  If unsure, say N.



	  This driver adds support for rtllib wireless cards.

	  Only the rtl8192e is supported as of now.

To-do list:



* merge into drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8192*

* clean up function naming

* Correct the coding style according to Linux guidelines; please read the document

  at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html.

* Remove unnecessary debugging/printing macros; for those that are still needed

  use the proper kernel API (pr_debug(), dev_dbg(), netdev_dbg()).

* Remove dead code such as unusued functions, variables, fields, etc..

* Use in-kernel API and remove unnecessary wrappers where possible.

* Fix bugs due to code that sleeps in atomic context.

* Remove the HAL layer and migrate its functionality into the relevant parts of

  the driver.

* Switch to use LIB80211.

* Switch to use MAC80211.

* Switch to use CFG80211.

* Improve the error handling of various functions, particularly those that use

  existing kernel APIs.
