staging: r8188eu: remove rtw_ioctl function
Remove rtw_ioctl function from os_dep/ioctl_linux.c, its declaration in include/osdep_intf.h, and finally its inclusion as the value of the .ndo_do_ioctl member of struct net_device_ops rtw_netdev_ops in os_dep/os_intfs.c. The e-mail from Arnd Bergmann at: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-next/CAK8P3a0WRMNmBmBDerZ0nWPdFZKALnxrj-uUFBkTP-MOtv48vg@mail.gmail.com explains the justification for this approach. Essentially, changes from net-next make the existing function and its use of SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctls unworkable without changes. Functions called from rtw_ioctl that are now no longer accessible will be cleaned up in further patches. Additionally, once these changes have made their way downstream to the staging branch, we can modify and reconnect rtw_android_priv_cmd via ndo_siocdevprivate in struct net_device_ops.
