IB/ipath: Remove support for QLogic PCIe QLE devices

The ib_qib driver is taking over support for QLogic PCIe QLE
devices,
so remove support for them from ib_ipath. The ib_ipath driver now
supports only the obsolete QLogic Hyper-Transport IB host channel
adapter (model QHT7140).

There you go. It's been HTX only since 2010, and those cards were
already old then. I think we should seriously consider deprecating and
then removing the driver.
