No significant improvements have been done to this driver since commit
a7c3ddf29a78 ("staging: qlge: clean up debugging code in the QL_ALL_DUMP
ifdef land") in January 2021. The driver should not stay in staging
forever. Since it has been abandoned by the vendor and no one has stepped
up to maintain it, delete it.
If some users manifest themselves, the driver will be restored to
drivers/net/ as suggested in the linked message.

Initialize devlink health dump framework for the qlge driver so the
coredump could be done via devlink.
struct qlge_adapter is now used as the private data structure of
struct devlink so it could exist independently of struct net_device
and devlink reload could be supported in the future. The private data
of PCIe driver now points to qlge_adapter.
Since devlink_alloc will zero out struct qlge_adapter, memset in
qlge_init_device is not necessary.

The hardware has been declared EOL by the vendor more than 5 years ago.
What's more relevant to the Linux kernel is that the quality of this driver
is not on par with many other mainline drivers.
