ehea: remove the ehea driver

Browse source 
The IBM eHEA (Ethernet Host Ethernet Adapter) driver has been orphaned
since April 2024 with no active maintainer. The hardware was last
supported on IBM POWER7 systems which reached end-of-support in
December 2020. The driver has received no functional updates since
October 2022, with all subsequent changes being mechanical API
migrations affecting the entire kernel tree.

A search of lore.kernel.org for the last 24 months reveals no user
reports, no objections to the orphan status, and no maintenance
discussions indicating active hardware deployment.

The code is preserved in git history and can be restored if a
maintainer steps forward to take ownership.
