[PATCH] ABI: sysfs-class-infiniband: Drop the entries of the removed qib driver

[Karl Mehltretter]

Commit 24baad32b710 ("RDMA/qib: Remove outdated driver") removed the qib
driver but left its /sys/class/infiniband/qibX/* entries in the stable
ABI file. Nothing creates those files any more.

Remove the block.
