The design of the WMI chardev interface is broken:
- it assumes that WMI drivers are not instantiated twice
- it offers next to no abstractions, the WMI driver gets
a raw byte buffer
- it is only used by a single driver, something which is
unlikely to change
Since the only user (dell-smbios-wmi) has been migrated
to his own ioctl interface, remove it.
